The PrEP Checklist To continue Sander’s efforts to get the word out about PrEP, we are reprinting the brochure in its entirety, with permision. PrEP is a highly effective HIV prevention method in which people who do not have HIV infection take a daily pill to reduce their risk of becoming infected. An outline of what you’ll need to know if you are interested in using PrEP as part of your personal HIV prevention strategy
Before a doctor can prescribe PrEP, you must: • Find a doctor that is trained to prescribe and maintain the proper protocol for PrEP. Not sure how to find a doctor? Ask a trusted friend that is on PrEP or at a HIV testing program. • Have an office visit with the doctor where they evaluate your risk of HIV exposure based on your sexual activities. Being honest and open with your doctor is very important. • Be tested for HIV to confirm you’re currently negative. • Be tested for Hepatitis B. • Be tested for healthy kidney functions. • Confirm that you are not taking other HIV or Hepatitis B medications. • Understand that while PrEP is generally considered safe for most people. Like any medication, there are known safety risks associated with PrEP. • For women: undergo a pregnancy test and decide if PrEP is still right for you.
Once you’re on PrEP, you must: • Take the medication as prescribed every day. • Visit your doctor every 2-3 months for lab tests, including an HIV and kidney function. • Monitor yourself for side effects and contact your doctor with any concerns.
• Remain honest and open with your doctor. • Understand that PrEP is only one part of your personal strategy to reduce your risk of HIV. Additionally, when you’re on PrEP, it is highly recommended that you: • Be tested regularly for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. • Strongly consider receiving a Hepatitis B vaccine. • Continue practicing safer sex, however you choose to define that for yourself.
