⭐️⭐️ 10 facts about injectable PrEP ⭐️⭐️
✅ What is injectable PrEP? PrEP is a medication used to prevent HIV infection before potential exposure. While previously available as a daily pill, PrEP has been developed into an injectable form. The first injectable PrEP is cabotegravir 600mg (3ml), administered via intramuscular injection in the buttocks every 2 months.
✅ Injectable vs. oral PrEP: Which is better? Multiple studies have shown that injectable PrEP is over 60% more effective than oral PrEP.
✅ Who can use injectable PrEP? Injectable PrEP can be used by men, women, and transgender individuals. It is highly effective in preventing HIV, but it is not recommended for pregnant women. Always consult a doctor before using PrEP.
✅ Is a blood test required before injecting PrEP? Yes, a blood test is mandatory before starting PrEP injection. This is a standard medical practice worldwide.
✅ Pre-injection recommendations: It is recommended to take one cabotegravir pill daily for about a month before starting the injections to assess potential side effects. After the first injection, a second injection is scheduled 1 month later, followed by subsequent injections every 2 months.
✅ What are the side effects of injectable PrEP? Side effects may include pain at the injection site, nausea, headache, diarrhea, and fever. These side effects are generally mild and temporary.
✅ Can someone who is already taking oral PrEP switch to injectable PrEP? Yes, it is possible to switch. It is recommended to consult a doctor beforehand.
✅ Can injection appointments be rescheduled? Yes, appointments can be rescheduled up to 7 days before or after the original date.
✅ Is it necessary to use condoms after starting PrEP injections? PrEP injections are only for preventing HIV. They do not protect against other s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and ge***al warts. It is still recommended to use condoms every time you have s*x.
✅ Can I buy injectable PrEP at a pharmacy? No, injectable PrEP must be administered at a healthcare facility by a medical professional. It cannot be purchased at a pharmacy or online.
