Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)

PrEP is a form of HIV prevention that uses anti-HIV medication to protect HIV negative people from becoming infected with HIV. Research shows that PrEP is highly effective in preventing the transmission of HIV as long as the drugs are taken as directed, before and after sex. It comes as a tablet, a combination of two HIV drugs: Tenofovir and Emtricitabine.  

PrEP is now FREE from most NHS sexual health services across the UK. Alternatively, you can buy PrEP privately and/ or on-line but you are strongly advised to connect with a sexual health service for medical observation.

PrEP is one preventative measure that can reduce the risk of contracting HIV, though condoms are still the most effective method of preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STI).

Even if PrEP is the game-changer many believe it to be, it offers zero protection against other STIs which are on the rise. The excessive use of antibiotics in the treatment of these other STIs reduces their efficacy (effectiveness).
