What is pre-exposure prophylaxis in HIV?

- When used as directed, PrEP is very successful at preventing HIV. With PrEP, there is a 99% lower chance of contracting HIV through intercourse. By at least 74%, PrEP lowers the risk of contracting HIV from injecting drugs.
- Within 72 hours (3 days) of a potential HIV encounter, PEP must be initiated. Every hour counts, so the earlier you get started, the better. For 28 days, you must take the PEP medications daily.
- Those who are HIV negative, had annus or female organ intercourse during the last six months, and: had a partner who is HIV positive (especially if the partner has an unknown or detectable viral load).
