These are widely used medicines to treat HIV and have been used for over ten years. Both drugs are combined ina single tablet.  \nPrEP is one of several ways to reduce sexual transmission of HIV. Other ways include condoms and changes in sexual behaviour.  \nIn 2015, two studies (PROUD in the UK, and IPERGAY in France) reported 86% reduction of acquiring HIV in gay men and trans women using PrEP.  \nIn April 2017, The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) approved tenofovir disoproxil/emtricitabine to be used as PrEP. This means that PrEP can now be provided free on the NHS in Scotland.  \nPrEP is approved in Europe and the US and is increasingly used in many other countries.  \n* TDX refers to the use of different tenofovir disoproxil salts depending on the manufacturer; your body processes all formulations to become the same active version of tenofovir.  \nJuly 2018  3   \nPrEP in Scotland  \nWho should take PrEP?  \nIf you are HIV negative and do not always use condoms for anal or vaginal sex, then you are at risk of HIV. If PrEP is right for you, it could reduce your risk of becoming HIV positive.  \nIn Scotland, ALL the following criteria are used to decide if PrEP might be right for you:  \n• You are aged 16 or over.  \n• You test HIV negative in a clinic.  \n• You can attend for regular reviews every three months.  \n• You are willing to stop taking PrEP if you become no longer eligible in the future.  \n• You live in Scotland.  \nYou also need to fulfil ONE or more of the following criteria:  \n• Your sexual partner is HIV positive and has a detectable viral load.  \n• You are either a man who has sex with men*, or a transgender woman and have either:  \n1. Had a rectal sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the last year; or  \n2. Had anal sex without condoms with more than one person last year – and you are likely to do this again in the next three months.  \n* This includes transgender men who have sex with men.  \nPlease talk to your doctor or nurse if you are not sure if PrEP is available for you.  \n 4  July 2018  \nPrEP in Scotland  \nShould anyone NOT take PrEP?  \nPrEP should not be used by people who are HIV positive.  \nPrEP is also not needed if your only partner is HIV positive and on treatment with an undetectable viral load.  \nAn undetectable viral load means that an HIV positive person is not infectious.  \nGetting PrEP from NHS Scotland  \nIf you are eligible for PrEP on the NHS, please contact your local sexual health clinic.  \nPlease see the PrEP.scot website for your nearest service. [www.prep.scot](www.prep.scot)  \nWhat if I am buying PrEP online?  \nIf you are buying generic PrEP online, you should tell your local sexual health clinic.  \nThis is so you can have free monitoring tests that are need","cbCaicfCDKCHRtCy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicfCDKCHRtCy","pdf",1041673,16,"English","# Introduction\n## What is PrEP?\n## Who should take PrEP?\n## Getting PrEP in Scotland\n# Side effects and interactions with other drugs\n## Testing and monitoring\n# How do I take PrEP?\n## Vaginal sex\n## Anal sex\n## Different dosing schedules\n# Other STIs\n## More information","[{\"question\":\"What is PrEP and what does it contain?\",\"answer\":\"PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis.
