什麼是 PrEP？

PrEP, which stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, is a tablet/pill you can take to protect yourself from HIV. When used as directed, PrEP has been shown to be highly effective at reducing the risk of contracting HIV – you don’t need to worry about a sexual partner’s HIV status.

How PrEP works

Taking PrEP before being exposed to HIV means there’s enough drug inside you to block HIV if it gets into your body.

The medication used for PrEP is a tablet which contains tenofovir and emtricitabine (drugs commonly used to treat HIV). It is sometimes called Truvada but there are many other brands of PrEP which are made exactly of the same ingredients and work in exactly the same way – these are called generic PrEP.
