PrEP Your Adventure: Stay Playful & Protected!
Hey Brooklyn! Ready to spice up your health game? Let’s dive into the world of PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) and explore how you can keep the good times rolling while staying safe. Whether you're new to PrEP or just looking to switch things up, we’ve got you covered with all the deets!
Two Awesome Ways to Take PrEP
Daily PrEP: Think of it as your daily dose of protection, just like brushing your teeth. This method is super easy—pop a pill every day, rain or shine, party or no party. Both Truvada and Descovy are your trusty companions for this routine, ensuring you're always ready for whatever comes your way.
PrEP on Demand: Perfect for those spontaneous moments! Tailored for cisgender men who have sex with men, this method lets you take PrEP only when you need it. Here’s the magic formula: 2-1-1—two pills 2 to 24 hours before fun times, then one pill 24 hours and another 48 hours after the first dose. It's like having your cake and eating it too, but in a health-conscious way!
Is PrEP on Demand Your Jam?
If you're a cisgender man who has sex with men and prefers some flexibility, PrEP on Demand could be your perfect match. It's been shown to effectively prevent HIV during anal sex when you stick to the plan. However, if you're involved in vaginal sex or are a transgender woman, Daily PrEP is your safest bet for top-notch protection.
The 2-1-1 Schedule for Taking PrEP on Demand
If you have sex one time, take:
• 2 pills at least 2 to 24 hours before sex
• 1 pill 24 hours after first dose
• 1 pill 48 hours after first dose
If you continue to have sex beyond 24 hours after your first double dose, continue to take a single PrEP pill every 24 hours until you have had two doses after the last time you have sex.
Why Choose PrEP?
Daily PrEP: Anyone can use it. Missed a dose? No worries (for cis men who have sex with men).
PrEP on Demand: Less daily commitment, but perfect timing is key.
Both methods keep side effects at bay, so the choice is all about what fits your vibe.
