WHAT IS PrEP?

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is medication to prevent HIV. If you are HIV-negative, PrEP can help you stay that way. If you take it correctly, PrEP is up to 99% effective at preventing HIV.

 


WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE PrEP?

  • More peace of mind while having sex.
  • Relief from the fear — and stigma — of HIV that has characterized our sexual lives for far too long.
  • Having more control over your sexual health and wellness.

Remember, PrEP is only helpful in preventing HIV. Unless you use condoms, you can still get other infections from sex (STIs) and you can still get pregnant.

 


IS PrEP RIGHT FOR YOU?

You might consider PrEP if:

  •       You don’t always use condoms (external or internal) when you have anal or vaginal sex. “Always” means every time, not sometimes.
  •       You don’t always ask your partner(s) to wear a condom.
  •       You have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection in the last six months.
  •       You’re unsure of the HIV status of your sexual partners.
  •       You’re in a relationship with an HIV-positive partner who may or may not be on HIV treatment.
  •       You inject drugs, or you have sex partners who inject drugs.
  •       You’re HIV-negative and interested in PrEP.

If you take it correctly, PrEP is up to 99% effective at preventing HIV.


HOW CAN WE HELP?

  • We offer PrEP pills and injections.
  • We can help you decide what’s right for you.
  • If you want PrEP pills, we can get you started the day of your first visit.

We now offer PrEP pills and injectable PrEP. Not sure which is right for you? We can help you decide.

NEED HELP PAYING FOR PrEP? 

  • PrEP is covered by most insurance programs.
  • If you do not have insurance, we can talk to you about programs that help pay for PrEP.

 


HOW DO I START?

PrEP is available at all of our health centers. Check out our locations in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx.

You can also call or text Richard Laboy, our HIV Prevention Coordinator, at (347) 461-7096 for more information.
