Just a reminder to folks, especially if you are sexually or intimately active with others: PreP is a medication that greatly reduces your chance of contracting HIV and reduces the transmission of it if you are exposed. It is safe, and there are places that will offer it for free in most parts of the US, Canada, Europe, and many other regions in the world.

The biggest side effect is nausea. If you take pills, that usually goes away after two weeks, but there is now a shot version that reduces those side effects. The shot can also be helpful if you happen to be a forgetful disaster who misses her pills sometimes like me!

By being on PreP, you are protecting yourself, your loved ones, and your community, and it is one of the easiest ways you can help.
