For people who are at high risk of obtaining HIV, there is a medical technique that substantially minimizes the chance of contracting HIV. Pre-exposure prophylaxis is referred to as PrEP. PrEP is an antiretroviral medication that helps HIV-negative people stay HIV-free even if they have intercourse with HIV-positive or unknown partners without using a condom.


"High risk" is defined in this case as having one or more HIV-positive sexual partners. It can also relate to having sexual relations in an area where HIV is common, as well as one or more of the dangers listed below:


? Condom use that is inconsistent or non-existent
? Sexual interaction is how infections propagate.
? Money, food, shelter, and narcotics are all exchanged for sex.
? Alcoholism or the use of illegal drugs
? Incarceration
? Unknown HIV status is linked to any of the risks listed here.


PrEP is suggested for HIV-positive men who have intercourse with other men, transgender people, adult heterosexually active men and women, and injectable drug users.


This is a significant step forward for the health of gay and bisexual men, men who have sex with males but do not identify as gay, and transgender persons. It integrates men's sexual health with primary care.
