Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is used to reduce the risk of getting HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).
PrEP works by stopping HIV from getting into your body and making copies of itself (replicating). You’ll only be protected from HIV infection if there are high enough levels of PrEP in your body, so it’s important to take it correctly.
PrEP can be used by anyone from a community or group that is most at risk of HIV, or people who have sex with people from those networks.
