• PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99%.
• PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from injection drug use by at least 74%.

PrEP is less effective when not taken as prescribed. Since PrEP only protects against HIV, condom use is still important for the protection against other STDs. Condom use is also important to help prevent HIV if PrEP is not taken as prescribed.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a HIV medication that when used consistently, reduces the risk of HIV infection during sex by over 90%. WHO PrEP guidelines currently recommends the use of PrEP taken daily for both men and women who are at substantial risk of acquiring HIV. Daily PrEP use provides the highest amount of medication in the blood and body tissues and, thus, the highest level of protection. If you take PrEP daily, you may still be protected, even if you miss a dose occasionally.

PrEP is highly effective and provides an additional option in preventing HIV infection.

In July 2017, WHO published a tool for implementing PrEP programs with suggestions for the introduction and use of PrEP based on the available evidence and experience. This document includes information not only for clinicians, but for educators and activists, counselors, opinion- makers, pharmacists, regulatory agencies, planners and evaluators, testing providers, PrEP users, and adolescents and young adults.
