and HIV
You may be wondering, “Does HIV affect women?”
The answer is yes.
Women represent about 1 in 5 new HIV diagnoses each year.*
Over half of women diagnosed
with HIV are Black.†
18% of women diagnosed with HIV are Hispanic/Latina.‡
§According to studies conducted between 2006 and 2017.
How do women get HIV?
HIV is commonly passed through vaginal and anal sex when a condom is not used.
APRETUDE is given every other month by a healthcare provider after initiation injections have been given 1 month apart for 2 consecutive months. Stay under a provider’s care while receiving APRETUDE. You must receive it as scheduled. If you will miss a scheduled injection by more than 7 days, call your provider right away.
There’s a long-acting PrEP that also helps protect women against getting HIV-1
