&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a medication that&amp;rsquo;s given to people who don&amp;rsquo;t have HIV to keep them from getting it. It works by blocking the HIV virus from entering and spreading through the body, so you&amp;rsquo;re much less likely to get HIV from having sex or using drugs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Effective is PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a game-changer in HIV prevention. When taken consistently, it slashes the risk of getting HIV from sex by a whopping 99% and from injecting drugs by at least 74%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;PrEP works best when taken as directed. For anal sex (bottoming), it offers maximum protection after about 7 days of daily use. there For vaginal sex, it takes about 21 days of daily use to reach its full effect. However, there are also alternative regimen like 2-1-1 (on-demand PrEP) what give similar protection for people who aren&#39;t regularly having sex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who Can Use PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Most grown-ups and young folks over 16 who don&amp;rsquo;t have HIV can take PrEP. But it might be given to people under 16 who are at risk of getting HIV. Just a heads up, PrEP shouldn&amp;rsquo;t be given to anyone under 12.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;PrEP is not suitable for individuals with severe liver or kidney problems, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weakened immune systems, HIV positivity, or hepatitis. It may also not be necessary for those with HIV-positive partners on undetectable medication.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/PrEP%20infographics/prep-info-03.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who Should Take PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re at risk of HIV exposure, PrEP might be a good idea for you. Here are some people who might be at risk:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;ul1&quot;&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You have a partner who lives with HIV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You have multiple partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You have sex with people whose HIV status is unknown&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You use injecting drugs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You work in the sex industry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You feel like you might have&amp;nbsp;more risk than most people&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Before starting PrEP, it&amp;rsquo;s important to get tested for HIV. The medicines used in PrEP are also used to treat HIV, but they&amp;rsquo;re not strong enough to stop the virus from growing. If PrEP is given to someone who already has HIV, the virus can grow stronger and become resistant to the medicines.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
