You might want to use PrEP as a way of staying HIV negative if one or more of the following applies to you:  \n• You don’t always use condoms for anal sex or vaginal sex.  \n• You don’t know the current HIV status of one or more of your sex partners.  \n• You have a sex partner who is HIV positive and who is not on HIV treatment with an undetectable viral load.  \nTalk to your doctor about whether PrEP is right for you.  \nThis brochure is about using PrEP to prevent HIV through sex, but PrEP also works to help prevent HIV transmission if you share needles to inject drugs.  \nA word on language: People use different words to talk about their bodies and their genitals. Here we use medical words, such as penis, anus and vagina, to describe genitals. Some people may use other words, such as private parts, dick, ass and front hole. CATIE acknowledges and respects that people use words that they are most comfortable with.  \nCATIE thanks the many community experts who contributed to this resource. In particular, we thank Health Initiative for Men (Vancouver), AIDS Committee of Toronto and RÉZO (Montreal) for inspiration and guidance, and AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia for review. We also thank Dr. Isaac Bogoch, Toronto General Hospital Research Institute, for medical review.  \nWriter: Camille Arkell (CATIE)  \nDesign: Light Up the Sky  \nFunded in part by an unrestricted educational grant from Gilead Sciences Canada, Inc.  \n© 2018, CATIE (Canadian AIDS Treatment Information Exchange) .

PrEP stands for preexposure prophylaxis. It involves taking a prescription pill that contains two medications.  \nTaking PrEP also involves medical visits every three months for HIV testing, screening for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), monitoring for possible side effects, and ongoing support.  \nThere are two PrEP options for guys. Most guys take PrEP every day, but it can also be taken on-demand. This could be a good option for guys who know in advance when they will have sex. It involves taking two pills 2 to 24 hours before sex, one pill 24 hours after the first dose, and another pill 24 hours after that.  \nIf a person has sex several days in a row, they should continue to take a pill every 24 hours until two days after the last time they have sex. You can talk to your doctor about which way might work best for you.  \nPrEP is one of several highly effective ways to help prevent HIV, and it can be used as part of a healthy sex life. Another highly effective way to prevent HIV transmission is using condoms. Also, when people with HIV take treatment and maintain an undetectable viral load, they do not pass HIV through sex.  \nPrEP only helps to prevent HIV—it does not protect against other STIs (such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes and syphilis) or other infections (such as hepatitis A, B and C) .  \nHow well does PrEP work?  \nFor HIV-negative guys who take PrEP as prescribed and who have regular ongoing medical care, it is rare to get HIV through sex.  \nTaking your pills when you are supposed to is very important because PrEP can be less effective when pills are missed. If pills are missed, drug levels in your body maybe too low to prevent HIV infection.  \nIs PrEP safe?  \nPrEP is generally safe and well  \ntolerated, and most people who take it report no side effects. Some do experience side effects such as nausea, diarrhea or fatigue, but these usually go away on their own within a few days to weeks as the body adjusts to the medication.  \nTalk to your doctor if you experience any side effects.  \nIn some people, PrEP can affect the kidneys, liver and bones.
