two ways to protect yourself from HIV
The FDA recently approved injectable PrEP! Wondering which option is right for you? Contact us or read more below.
No matter what option you choose, we still recommend that you use safe sex practices (condoms, lube, etc.) because PrEP cannot prevent other STIs.
Injectable PrEP
-
The FDA approved Apretude (cabotegravir) for use in at-risk adults and adolescents weighing at least 77 pounds to reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV.
-
Apretude is first given as two injections one month apart, and then every two months thereafter. Patients can either start their treatment with Apretude or take oral cabotegravir (Vocabria) for four weeks to see how well they tolerate the drug.
-
Apretude gives people another choice - especially those who don't like taking daily pills.
Traditional PrEP pill
-
You can also take one pill a day to stay HIV negative!
-
You have two options - Descovy and Truvada.
