HIV Prevention Medication Online
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a form of HIV medication used to prevent the spread of certain diseases. It is usually prescribed to people who are HIV-negative but are at risk of being exposed to the virus, whether they actively engage in frequent intercourse with multiple partners or are in a relationship with an HIV-positive person.
The medication effectively prevents HIV from infecting a person when they come into contact with the virus by efficiently safeguarding the cells that the virus accesses in the body. This prevents the spread of HIV throughout the body, therefore stopping the virus from infecting the host.
What Is PrEP?
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a form of HIV prevention medication. It is usually prescribed to people who are HIV negative and prevents HIV from infecting a patient when they come into contact with the virus.
PrEP is most often prescribed to people considered at high risk of contracting HIV, such as those in relationships with HIV-positive people or those who engage in frequent intercourse with multiple partners. It is often recommended to take daily or before engaging in sexual intercourse and comes in pill form. It is best used in conjunction with condoms for safe sex and has an up to 99% effectiveness rate.
How Does PrEP Work to Prevent HIV?
By taking PrEP before being exposed to HIV, you ensure there is enough of the medication in your body to prevent HIV from crossing over into healthy cells. The medicines in PrEP include tenofovir and emtricitabine, which are also used to treat HIV. It is crucial to take PrEP as advised by your doctor to ensure maximum efficacy.
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis effectively sets up a safety wall around your CD4 cells, which are the cells that HIV accesses in order to spread around your body.
How Effective Is PrEP?
PrEP is incredibly effective if taken correctly – as high as 99% effective against transmission of HIV. When taken in combination with wearing condoms for sex, the effectiveness of PrEP is even greater.
PrEP can also protect those who share needles against transmission of HIV by up to 70%. You should take PrEP daily to ensure you get the right amount of medication into your system. Missing pills can cause the medication to become less effective, so you should aim to take the medicine at the same time each day.
