PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a highly effective prevention medication for people who do not have HIV.
PrEP is available either as a daily pill or a long-acting injectable given by a healthcare provider every eight weeks. In most states, PrEP requires a prescription.
PrEP does not protect against other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Condoms protect against HIV and many other STDs, as well as pregnancy.
