Cisgender Women
HIV diagnosis rates among women have been stable over the years and many are still at risk of getting HIV.
Half of women diagnosed with HIV are Black*
20% of women diagnosed with HIV are Hispanic/Latina*
Of women living with HIV, 1 in every 10 does not know they are HIV positive.* That’s why it’s so important to get tested regularly.
How do women get HIV?
HIV can be passed through vaginal and anal sex when a condom is not used.
Why should women use PrEP?
When a sexy moment is heating up, things don’t always go as planned. If you are a sexually active woman, ask your doctor about PrEP, especially if you have had any of the following:
- An HIV-positive sexual partner (especially if partner has an unknown or detectable viral load)
- A history of inconsistent or no condom use with a sexual partner(s)
- A bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the past 6 months
- Are in a relationship but don’t know the status of your partner
APRETUDE does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections. Practice safer sex by using a latex or polyurethane condom to reduce the risk of getting sexually transmitted infections. Talk to your doctor about PrEP options.
There’s a long-acting PrEP that also helps protect women from HIV-1
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.
