HIV Testing HIV Prevention Basics HIV Prevention Information - CDC.gov Condoms Condoms
are an important tool in preventing HIV. When used consistently and
correctly, condoms are highly effective. They are also effective at
preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhea and
chlamydia. Using Condoms - HIV.gov PrEP Pre-exposure
prophylaxis (or PrEP) is when people at high risk for HIV take HIV medicines
daily to lower their chances of acquiring HIV. A combination of two HIV medicines, sold
under the name Truvada® (pronounced tru vá duh), is approved for
daily use as PrEP to help prevent an HIV-negative person from acquiring HIV
through sex or injection drug use.
Studies have shown that PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV if it is
used as prescribed. PrEP is much less
effective when it is not taken consistently. PrEP Information
