Do I still need condoms on PrEP?

Can PrEP be used during pregnancy or while trying to conceive?

  • PrEP can often be used during pregnancy or when planning if HIV risk is present; discuss with your healthcare provider.

How long does it take for PrEP to work?

  • Protection builds with consistent use and proper timing; discuss timing with your clinician for your chosen regimen.

Is PrEP an HIV cure?

No, it reduces risk, but does not cure. It also does not automatically protect against HIV if exposure occurs due to non-adherence.
