Here are some of the most common questions people ask about PrEP for HIV prevention: 1. **What is PrEP?** PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily medication that helps prevent HIV infection in people who are at high risk. 2. **How effective is PrEP?** When taken consistently, PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% and from injection drug use by at least 74%. 3. **Who should take PrEP?** PrEP is recommended for individuals at higher risk of HIV, including those with an HIV-positive partner, people who inject drugs, or those with multiple sexual partners. 4. **How do I start PrEP?** You’ll need a prescription from a healthcare provider, who will also test you for HIV and monitor your kidney function before and during treatment. 5. **Are there side effects?** Some people experience mild side effects like nausea or headaches, but these usually go away after a few weeks. 6. **Does PrEP protect against other STIs?** No, PrEP only prevents HIV. Using condoms is still important to protect against other sexually transmitted infections. 7. **How long does it take for PrEP to work?** For sex, it takes about 7 days of daily use for maximum protection. For injection drug use, it takes about 21 days. 8. **Can I stop PrEP if I’m no longer at risk?** Yes, but consult your healthcare provider first to ensure safe discontinuation and discuss ongoing prevention strategies. 9. **Is PrEP covered by insurance?** Many insurance plans, including Medicaid, cover PrEP. There are also assistance programs for those without coverage. 10. **What’s the difference between PrEP and PEP?** PrEP is taken before potential HIV exposure to prevent infection, while PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is taken after possible exposure as an emergency measure.
