When taken as prescribed, it substantially lowers HIV risk for both sexual exposure and injection drug use. Eligibility is tied to factors such as an HIV-positive sexual partner, other high-risk sexual behaviors, repeated PEP use, or sharing injection equipment. Starting PrEP requires HIV and related testing, with ongoing clinician and nurse follow-ups, repeat prescriptions, and refill support.

When taken as prescribed, PrEP can reduce the risk of getting HIV through sex by about 99%, and from injection drug use by at least 74% .  \nIs PrEP right for you?  \nPrEP may be appropriate for you if you are HIV-negative and you ...  \n• have a sexual partner who has HIV  \n• engage in other sexual activity that puts you at high risk for HIV infection (e.g., inconsistent condom use for vaginal or anal sex with partner whose HIV status is unknown)  \n• have had repeated use of PEP* for possible HIV exposures  \n• share needles or other drug injection equipment with others  \nBefore initiating PrEP, you will need to undergo HIV and other testing. While taking PrEP, you will need to meet with a registered nurse every three months and a medical clinician annually for repeat testing and prescription refills (telehealth appointments and selftesting may be possible; please ask your provider) .  \nOver  \nCorHnellealth [health.cornell.edu](health.cornell.edu)  \nTypes of PrEP  \nMost common / recommended:  \n• Truvada (pill)– appropriate for all individuals at high risk of contracting HIV  \nOther types of PrEP (may have higher cost, depending on your insurance):  \n• Descovy (pill)– not appropriate for people assigned female at birth who are at risk of getting HIV through vaginal sex  \n• Apretude (injected medication)  \n• Yeztugo (injected medication)  \n*PrEP vs. PEP: PrEP is taken BEFORE exposure, and is appropriate for people who are at ongoing risk for HIV. For those who are not on PrEP and who may have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours, a medical clinician may prescribe PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) to help prevent HIV infection.  \nPaying for PrEP  \nMost health insurance plans (including Cornell’s Student Health Plans) cover PrEP prescriptions, with the exception of a copay. There are some programs that provide PrEP for free or at reduced cost, or cover prescription copays. To learn more, visit cdc.gov and search “paying for PrEP.”  \nIf you are on a parent’s health insurance plan, you can learn about options to protect your privacy at [health.cornell.edu/billing\\#confidentiality](health.cornell.edu/billing#confidentiality).  \nGetting PrEP at Cornell Health  \nSchedule an appointment with a Cornell Health medical clinician to discuss whether PrEP might be right for you: call 607-255-5155.
