PrEP means Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, and it’s the use of anti-HIV medications to keep HIV negative people from contracting HIV. PrEP is approved by the FDA and has been shown to be safe and effective at preventing HIV.
PrEP has been around in the U.S. since 2012, however many people still don’t know about it. And those who do know what PrEP is, may not know enough about it to make an informed decision on whether or not to use it. We at the Red Project want everyone in our community to be as informed as possible.
One of the barriers to obtaining PrEP is access to it. The Red Project can assist with navigating insurance as well as figuring out how to take care of paying for it.
