PrEP is a pill you take daily that lowers your chances of getting HIV through sex by more than 90%. The major brands are Truvada and Descovy. PrEP is intended for HIV-negative individuals who are at risk of HIV infection. Some individuals are more vulnerable than others. Visit for a free consultation if you're unsure if PrEP is the best option for you.
How Does PrEP Work?
There have been no documented major health impacts with PrEP, making it generally safe. The medication takes 14 to 20 days to start showing results. Many individuals believe that after taking PrEP, they may stop using condoms, however this won't prevent you from other STDs. Condoms are the only product that can accomplish that, and UR Health offers them for free! A negative HIV test result and other lab tests are required before prescribing any PrEP medication. Our health practitioner can assist you with these procedures and put you in touch with agencies that offer free or discounted drugs to those who qualify.
