PrEP: EMPOWERED PROTECTED HEALTHY

PrEP is a proactive step toward a healthier, HIV-free future. With daily protection, you can stay empowered, safe, and in control of your health.

01

What is PrEP?

PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a daily medication that reduces the risk of HIV by up to 99% when taken consistently. It's a safe and effective option for those at higher risk of HIV transmission.

02

How does it work?

PrEP acts as a shield against HIV by using antiretroviral medications to prevent the virus from multiplying in the body. When taken consistently as directed, it can lower the risk of HIV transmission by up to 99% during sexual contact and by at least 74% for injection drug use.

PrEP & Transgender Health

Why PrEP is Important for Transgender People:

PrEP is crucial for transgender individuals because they face a disproportionately higher risk of acquiring HIV.

The following reasons might contribute to this increased vulnerability:

  • Stigma and Discrimination: Transgender individuals often face stigma and discrimination, making it difficult to access healthcare and leading to risky sexual behaviors.
  • Hormone Therapy: Certain hormone therapies can affect the absorption of PrEP, making it less effective. However, with proper medical guidance, these interactions can be managed.
