Currently, Truvada is the only U.S. FDA-approved drug for PrEP. It has been in use since 2012.
Unlike PrEP, PEP is not meant for people who might be exposed to HIV frequently. If you think you’re at ongoing risk for HIV, talk to your doctor about whether PrEP is right for you. If you think you’ve recently been exposed to HIV, talk to your health care provider or an emergency room doctor to see if PEP is the right choice.
PrEP Navigators provide support to those hoping to learn more about PrEP and those who have made the decision to start PrEP. Navigators can help you find a PrEP prescriber and help with insurance and/or assistance programs to cover the costs of PrEP. Navigators follow up with patients for six months after starting PrEP, or longer if needed. They serve as a resource and guide. Navigators are qualified community health assisters and do not charge for their services.
