What is PrEP?

PrEP refers to a daily medication regimen for individuals who are at high risk of contracting HIV. It stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. The medication used for PrEP contains a combination of antiretroviral drugs that can effectively reduce the risk of HIV transmission when taken consistently. At CTIP, we are committed to spreading awareness about PrEP and ensuring that it is accessible to everyone who may benefit from it.

Benefits of PrEP

PrEP offers several remarkable advantages in HIV prevention. By taking PrEP daily, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of acquiring HIV through various high-risk activities, such as unprotected sex or sharing needles. The consistent use of PrEP has been proven to be highly effective, with studies showing a reduction in HIV transmission rates by over 90%. It provides individuals with a powerful tool to take control of their own health and well-being, empowering them to make informed choices.

Who Should Consider PrEP?

PrEP is recommended for individuals who are considered to be at substantial risk of HIV infection. This includes:

  • Individuals in a serodiscordant relationship (one partner is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-negative)
  • Men who have sex with men (MSM)
  • Transgender individuals
  • Individuals who engage in sexual activity with multiple partners
  • People who inject drugs
  • Individuals who have recently had a sexually transmitted infection (STI)

What is PEP?

PEP, or Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, is an emergency treatment option for individuals who may have been exposed to HIV. PEP involves taking antiretroviral medications within a specific timeframe after potential exposure to prevent the virus from establishing an infection. It is important to note that PEP should be initiated as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours after exposure, for it to be effective.
