However, because it does not protect against other STI’s or unplanned pregnancy, it should always be used with other preventive measures such as condoms for safer sexual practices.  \nIs PrEP safe?  \nPrEP is safe. However, a few individuals may experience occasional side effects. Side effects include headaches, nausea and abdominal discomfort which may be experienced occasionally for a short period and will usually reduce after a few weeks of taking PrEP.  \nHow does PrEP prevent HIV?  \nIf you have been taking PrEP correctly and consistently, it helps build a protective layer around your body cells. For example having unprotected sex with someone who is living with HIV or coming into contact with infected body fluid, PrEP can stop the virus from  \nestablishing itself in your body.  \nCan I share PrEP with others?  \nNO. PrEP should only be taken by the person prescribed to and should not be shared with others.  \nWhat are side effects of PrEP?  \nSome people who take PrEP may experience side effects that last for a short period. These may include; headache, weight loss, nausea, vomiting and abdominal discomfort. These side effects often reduce or stop after a few weeks of taking PrEP.  \nWho needs PrEP?  \nPrEP is for anyone who is HIV negative and atan ongoing risk of contracting the virus. Such a person should visit the nearest health facility for a consultation with a health provider.If used consistently studies have shown that PrEP is highly effective in preventing HIV.  \nWhat are the benefits of PrEP?  \nIf used consistently, PrEP can significantly reduce the risk of HIV infection, giving you peace of mind. However, it does not protect against other STIs and unplanned pregnancies and should be used with other preventive measures such as condoms.  \nIs PrEP used with a condom and contraceptives?  \nPrEP will only protect you against HIV and does not protect you from getting Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s) and pregnancy. Using condoms will be the best way to prevent STI’s.  \n√ For further clarification seek guidance from a health care provider near you  \nWhat is PEP?  \nPEP stands for post-exposure prophylaxis. It means taking antiretroviral medicines (ART) after being potentially exposed to HIV to prevent becoming infected.  \nIs PEP Right for me?  \nIf you’re HIV-negative or don’t know your HIV status, and in the last 72 hours you  \nthink you may have been exposed to HIV during sex (for example, if the condom broke), shared needles and works to prepare drugs or you were sexually assaulted,  \ntalk to a health care provider about PEP right away. PEP is effective, but not 100%, so you should continue to use condoms with sex partners while taking PEP. These strategies can protect you from being exposed to HIV again and reduce the chances of transmitting HIV to others if you do become infected while you’re on PEP.  \nWhen should I take PEP?  \nPEP must be started within 72 hours after a possible exposure. The sooner you start PEP, the better; every hour counts. Starting PEP as soon as possible after a potential HIV exposure is important. Research has shown that PEP has little or no effect in preventing HIV infection if it is started later than 72 hours after HIV exposure. If you’re prescribed PEP, you’ll need to take it once or twice daily for 28 days.  \nDoes PEP have any side effects?  \nPEP is safe but may cause side effects like nausea in some people. These side effects can be treated and aren’t life-threatening.  \nCan I take a ","cbCaivvSLMLuU4d0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivvSLMLuU4d0","pdf",348150,"English","# What is oral PrEP?\n## What is PrEP?\n## How Effective is PrEP?\n## Is PrEP safe?\n## How does PrEP prevent HIV?\n## Can I share PrEP with others?\n## Side effects of PrEP\n# Who needs PrEP?\n## Benefits of PrEP\n## PrEP with condoms and contraceptives\n# What is PEP?\n## Is PEP right for me?\n## When should I take PEP?\n## PEP side effects\n## Can I take PEP every time I have protected sex?","[{\"question\":\"What is oral PrEP and who is it for?\",\"answer\":\"Oral PrEP is a prevention method where an HIV-negative person at high risk takes oral tablets daily.
