Ready to start the new year with confidence? PrEP is a powerful tool for protecting your health and taking charge of your future. Here are five reasons why adding PrEP to your 2025 goals is the best resolution you can make!
- It reduces your risk of contracting HIV from sex by about 99%.
And, it reduces your risk of getting HIV from injection drugs by about 74%. (As long as you stay on schedule, PrEP’s effectiveness relies on you taking it regularly),
- Taking PrEP can operate on your schedule.
Pills or injections, you’ve got options! If you find a routine that works best for you (or if you don’t like needles), taking the pill may be the best option for you. If you have a hard time keeping up with a routine, getting the shot every 2 months from your clinician may be the best way to go for you.
- It’s for anyone who needs it, not just cis gay men.
If you:
- Inject drugs or share needles, syringes, or other injection equipment.
- Have had anal or vaginal sex in the past 6 months.
- Have a sexual partner with HIV (especially if their viral load is unknown or detectable).
- Have not consistently used condoms.
- Have been diagnosed with an STI in the past 6 months.
- If any of these apply to you, talk to your provider about starting PrEP!
- It won’t break the bank.
