KNOW YOUR RISK
HIV does not discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity. It is a virus that can impact anyone, regardless of their background. And because HIV isn’t selective, everyone—gay, straight, nonbinary, trans, cis, or however you identify—should know about the options to protect themselves.
When it comes to HIV protection, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is highly effective at preventing HIV transmission through sex when taken as prescribed. PrEP is a powerful tool that can provide an additional layer of protection against HIV transmission.
Wondering how HIV affects women specifically?
SEXUAL HEALTH AND HIV
Let’s start with some real numbers.
*In 2022, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Ask your doctor about PrEP, especially if you have had anal or vaginal sex in the past 6 months AND any of the following:
An HIV-positive sexual partner (especially if partner has an unknown or detectable viral load)
A bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the past 6 months
A history of inconsistent or no condom use with your sexual partner(s)
A partner with an unknown HIV status
