Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is for people who don’t have HIV and are at risk of getting HIV from s*x or injection drug use. Oral PrEP is up to 99% effective at preventing HIV acquisition from s*x and at least 74% effective at preventing HIV acquisition from injection drug use. See the Figure below. The two oral PrEP medications are Truvada and Descovy. Truvada is for all people at risk through s*x or injection drug use. Descovy is for people at risk through s*x or injection drug use, except for people assigned female at birth who could get HIV from vaginal s*x. Oral PrEP medications are highly effective for preventing HIV. IPH is located at 9053 Woodward Ave, Detroit, Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Call 313-3099350 ext. 2 for more information on HIV testing, PrEP, PEP, and treatment.
