If you have a partner who is HIV-positive, or if you have had to take PEP more than once, you might want to consider taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). PrEP is an ARV pill that people who are at risk of getting HIV can take every day to prevent HIV infection. See our other FAQs on PrEP, or speak with your clinician.
