PrEP Formulations

Logic: If LASTTEST_STATUS equal to 2 or LASTTEST_EVERPOS equal to 1 skip PrEP section

PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis. PrEP is medication for a healthy person to take to prevent getting HIV. The medication can be a pill, injected, or a gel. Some people have side effects that usually go away after the first month. In rare cases, taking the medication for long periods may damage the kidneys. The medication is prescribed by a doctor, and you would need to follow the doctor’s orders about regular check-ups. Taking these medications would provide some protection against HIV infection, but they are not 100% effective.

The following questions are about some types of PrEP medication that may be available in the future that would lower your chances of getting HIV.
