Yep, it’s that easy now thanks to a little blue pill called PrEP. You may already know someone who’s on PrEP or have heard friends talking about it, but for those who don’t know, it’s a daily pill that has the power to prevent HIV. And you don’t even need your parent’s permission to get it.
When taken correctly, PrEP can reduce your chances of getting HIV by up to 99%. So, what does that mean for you? Sex without worrying about HIV. Lucky you.
Living with HIV is manageable with today’s treatments, but it still comes with serious and avoidable health risks. While you may think it could never happen to you, young New Yorkers are more at risk for HIV than almost anyone else.
The answer is different for everyone. While PrEP may not be right for some of your friends, it could be the perfect HIV prevention option for how you live your life. Answer these confidential questions to get a better idea if it could be a good option for you.
From side effects to cost, there are a lot of rumors out there about how PrEP works. Check out the videos below for the real deal.
Take PrEP daily for up to 99% protection from HIV. For protection against other STIs like syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, add condoms to your routine.
If you have Medicaid, PrEP doesn't cost a thing. If you have other insurance or no insurance, there are programs that can reduce PrEP costs, and we can help.
Some people get side effects from taking medications, including PrEP. Those who get PrEP side effects like stomach pain or headaches usually find that they go away in a few weeks, and most say it's worth the week or two of discomfort for the long-lasting peace of mind.
We know for sure that PrEP does not weaken hormones. So go on, be you.
HIV prevention isn’t the only benefit of PrEP. Users get screened every three months for HIV, STIs, bone and kidney issues, and more—leaving them feeling healthier than ever!
Especially those with different HIV statuses. If your partner is HIV positive but you’re negative, PrEP can help protect you without taking away any intimacy or spontaneity.
