At PMC Clinic Phuket, we offer PrEP services or HIV prevention medication for those at high risk of exposure to HIV, such as those with HIV-infected sexual partners or those with risky behaviors, to effectively reduce the chances of contracting HIV.
What is PrEP?
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is the use of antiretroviral drugs that help prevent HIV infection before the user is exposed to the virus. PrEP is most effective when taken strictly according to the doctor’s advice. The medication acts to prevent HIV from entering the body’s cells, effectively reducing the risk of HIV infection, especially for those with risky behaviors or HIV-infected sexual partners. However, using PrEP can reduce the risk by up to 99% when taken correctly and continuously. Using PrEP is a modern method that has been scientifically proven to be effective in preventing HIV infection.
Using PrEP is considered the most important and modern HIV prevention method today, which is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and medical experts around the world. This is because PrEP can effectively reduce the risk of infection when taken continuously and correctly according to the instructions.
Suitable groups for PrEP
PrEP is an effective option for people at high risk of acquiring HIV, such as those with HIV-infected partners, who can reduce the risk of contracting the virus through sex with a partner who tests positive for HIV; those who engage in risky sexual behaviors, such as having multiple partners or having sex without condoms; those who share needles with other people who use drugs intravenously, which can put them at risk of contracting HIV; and those who have a history of sexually transmitted infections, especially those who have had a sexually transmitted infection (STI), which can put them at higher risk of contracting HIV.
Benefits of using PrEP
There are many benefits to taking PrEP, including:
- Reduce your risk of getting HIV: PrEP can reduce your risk of getting HIV by up to 99% if taken consistently and correctly.
- Enhance your self-confidence: High-risk individuals can feel confident that they are protected from getting HIV.
- Convenient and easy to use: PrEP is easy to take, simply take your pills every day as directed by your doctor.
