Why should you use PrEP?
Several scientific studies have demonstrated that PrEP is very effective in preventing HIV infection. In fact, there have been no cases of MSM in the world becoming infected with HIV while using PrEP. HIV transmission usually only occurs if MSM stop using PrEP or if they do not use it regularly as directed by their doctors.

However, some studies have reported reduced kidney function and bone density in people using PrEP, so using PrEP is contraindicated for people:

Allergy or intolerance to TDF (Tenofovir Disoprovi Fumarate) or FTC (Emtricitabine): these are uncommon.
HIV infection: there is a high risk of drug resistance.
Suspected acute HIV infection: are cases where HIV antibody testing can give negative results during the window period.
Abnormal kidney function: eGFR < 60ml/min.
How to use PrEP correctly and most effectively
Taking PrEP cannot immediately prevent the disease or treat it. To effectively prevent HIV, you need to persistently take it regularly every day. Therefore, as soon as you are at risk of HIV, you need to go to a PrEP provider to receive the medicine.

Using PrEP, you take 1 pill a day, which can be taken before or after meals. You should create a habit of drinking on time, it will bring more efficiency. If you forget to take PrEP, you need to take it as soon as you remember.
– Besides, you need to be careful not to take 2 doses in a row within 24 hours. The drug does not react with resistant drugs, so taking it together will not have any effect. However, if possible, it is still best to take the medications separately.

What is PrEP not?
– PrEP is not PEP. PEP is HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis. Used within 72 hours after exposure to HIV, preferably within 2-6 hours after exposure.
– PrEP is not an HIV treatment. PrEP is only for people who are not infected with HIV. People with HIV must use other medications.

A few notes when using PrEP
According to experts, PrEP medication has different effectiveness times, depending on each case.

If you have anal sex (mostly seen in homosexuals), you must take PrEP for at least 7 consecutive days.
In case of vaginal intercourse or there is a risk of transmitting HIV through blood, take PrEP for at least 21 days.
After taking PrEP, there is enough time to prevent disease. You should still continue to drink, to ensure there is no longer a risk of infection. Before stopping using the medicine, you need to consult with your doctor to be sure that you are not infected with HIV.

Note: PrEP does not prevent sexual diseases other than HIV. Therefore, if you have problems with infection, gonorrhea, syphilis, etc., you still need to use condoms to prevent infection.
