Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a medication for people at risk of getting HIV through sex or drug use. The medication prevents HIV by stopping the virus before it has a chance to take hold in the body and spread.

The team performs an HIV test before prescribing PrEP. You can’t take this medication if you have HIV.
