SUCK MY PrEP!

Stay Protected, Stay Confident with PrEP! Taking charge of your health has never been more important! PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a game-changer in HIV prevention, offering a powerful way to reduce the risk of HIV transmission.

Welcome to "Suck My PrEP"—your go-to guide for everything you need to know about PrEP, its benefits, and how to access it in Thailand.

 

What is PrEP?

PrEP is a daily medication for HIV-negative individuals that helps prevent HIV infection. When taken consistently, it lowers the risk of transmission by up to 99%. PrEP is a great option for those at higher risk, including individuals with HIV-positive partners or those engaging in high-risk sexual activities.

 

Why Choose PrEP?

PrEP offers multiple benefits:

Highly Effective – Up to 99% protection against HIV when taken as prescribed.
Empowering – Gives you control over your sexual health.
Minimal Side Effects – Most users experience little to no side effects.

 

Types of PrEP Available

There are two main types of PrEP:

1. Injectable PrEP – Apretude (Cabotegravir)

A long-acting injectable PrEP that protects for up to 2 months per dose.

Perfect for those who prefer an alternative to daily pills.

2. PrEP Pills
