Who Should Use PrEP?
PrEP is for individuals who do not have HIV but are at high risk of contracting it. High-risk individuals include:
- Unprotected sex
- Men with multiple sexual partners
- Men who have sex with men
- Sex workers with multiple partners
- People who inject drugs
How to Take PrEP for Maximum HIV Protection
To achieve optimal HIV prevention, it’s important to take PrEP as directed. There are 2 main methods for taking PrEP: daily dosing and on-demand dosing.
1. Daily PrEP (PROUD Study)
This method is recommended for everyone, especially those with frequent sexual activity.
- Start with a Lead-In Dose: Take one PrEP pill at the same time each day for 7 days before getting into condomless sex.
- With or Without Food: You can take PrEP with or without meals.
- Stick to a Daily Routine: Take one pill every day for maximum protection. If you miss a dose, don’t worry—occasional missed doses won’t significantly reduce your protection.
2. On-Demand PrEP (IPERGAY Study)
This method is recommended for men who have sex with men and can plan their sexual activity. On-demand PrEP is effective for anal sex but not recommended for vaginal sex.
- Pre-Sex Dosing: Take 2 pills 2 to 24 hours before sexual activity.
- Follow-Up Dosing: Take 1 pill 24 hours after the initial dose, followed by another pill 24 hours later.
- Post-Sex Dosing: Continue with 1 pill daily for 2 additional days after sex.
On-demand PrEP is flexible and ideal for those with less frequent sexual activity.
How Are Generic Versions of Truvada Different?
Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients as their brand-name counterparts and work in the same way. However, there may be slight differences in inactive ingredients like colorings, preservatives, and coatings. It’s important to consult your doctor if you have allergies before taking any medication.
Why Are Generic Versions Cheaper?
Generics are often less expensive because their manufacturers don't have to conduct animal and clinical trials, as the safety and effectiveness have already been proven with the original brand-name drug.
Should You Consider Switching to Descovy?
Descovy is a good option for those who may be concerned about kidney and bone health, as it is associated with a lower risk of complications compared to Truvada. Consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best option for your health.
