What is PrEP?

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily medication that reduces your risk of getting HIV from sex or injection drug use. When taken consistently, PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV.

PrEP involves taking one pill every day. The medications approved for PrEP include Truvada and Descovy. At Nexus, we provide comprehensive PrEP services including consultations, prescriptions, and ongoing monitoring.

Who Should Consider PrEP?

Sexual Activity

You have a sexual partner with HIV or don't consistently use condoms with partners whose HIV status you don't know

Recent STI

You've been diagnosed with an STI in the past 6 months

Injection Drug Use

You inject drugs and share needles, syringes, or other drug equipment

High-Risk Partners

You have a partner who injects drugs or is at risk for HIV

Guidelines for Taking PrEP

1

Take Daily

Take one pill every day at the same time. Consistency is key for maximum protection.

2

Build Protection

For anal sex, PrEP reaches maximum protection at about 7 days of daily use. For vaginal sex and injection drug use, it takes about 21 days.

3

Regular Testing

Get tested for HIV every 3 months. This ensures PrEP is working and you remain HIV-negative.

4

Monitor Kidney Function

Regular blood tests check your kidney function and ensure the medication is safe for you.

5

Stay Connected

Maintain regular check-ins with your healthcare provider to discuss any concerns or side effects.
