HIV PrEP: Protection You Deserve

HIV cases are rising among women. Learn how PrEP and PEP work, who should consider them, and how to protect yourself, on your terms.

You deserve to feel safe and empowered in your health decisions. PrEP puts prevention in your hands.

Why PrEP Matters

  • HIV cases are rising among women, but PrEP is underused outside of MSM (men who have sex with men)

  • Most new infections are through heterosexual contact

What Is PrEP?

  • Daily oral medication (emtricitabine/tenofovir) reduces HIV risk by up to 98%

  • Long-acting injectable options for those who struggle with daily pills

What About PEP?

  • Post-exposure prophylaxis: start within 72 hours after possible exposure, continue for 28 days

You deserve options that fit your life. If you’re at risk, talk to your provider, protecting your health is your right.
