Who Should Take PrEP?

PrEP can benefit a variety of people in different circumstances. PrEP may be a good option for people who:

• Are HIV-negative and have not consistently used condoms, have had penetrative sex in the past 6 months, have a partner with HIV, or have recently contracted an STD
• Inject drugs and share their injection equipment
• Are women with an HIV-positive partner and who want to get pregnant

If any of these categories fit you, consider taking PrEP to decrease the risk of contracting HIV.
