This service is open to all.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) should be considered for all persons (regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity) who are sexually active, especially those who engage in unprotected penetrative sex, those who take drugs intravenously (with a needle), and sex workers.
PrEP is a course of anti-HIV drugs taken by HIV-negative people (i.e. don’t have HIV) to reduce their risk of HIV infection. The drugs in PrEP stop the HIV virus from replicating in your body. If you become exposed to HIV but have been taking PrEP correctly, you have up to a 96% chance of resistance to infection
