PrEP (HIV Prevention)
Safe sex is hugely important, especially if you’re a person who is at high risk of getting HIV, a virus that weakens your immune system. HIV can be passed from person to person through bodily fluids and is often passed on during sex or if people share needles while taking drugs.
Over time, HIV can develop into a life-threatening condition called AIDS, which happens when your immune system has been damaged badly enough by the HIV virus. Fortunately, modern medicine has seen the development of PrEP and other treatments which can be used to protect yourself from the virus and help to reduce its spread.
