Take control of your sexual health
Condoms should always be encouraged to help protect against STIs, pregnancy, and HIV.
If you enjoy a happy, healthy, and active sex life, PrEP can provide you with extra piece of mind!
What is PrEP?
Pre Exposure Prophylaxis
It’s a simple step you can add to your daily routine to take control of your sexual health.
Just ONE pill ONCE a day.
Studies have shown that PrEP taken daily reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99%!
Is PrEP for me?
If you’re HIV-negative and sexually active, it might be time to take control with PrEP if you identify with any of the following statements:
​
-
I don't know the HIV status of my partner(s)
-
My partner(s) are HIV positive
-
I'm HIV negative and want to take control of my sexual health
-
I've had an STI in the last six months
-
I don't always use condoms
-
I am or my partner(s) are an injection drug user
-
I'm sexually active
The Cost
In addition to insurance, there are patient assistance programs that can help you pay for or cover PrEP.
​
The Columbia CARES PrEP Navigator will walk you through the entire coverage process.
What about all the lawsuit commercials?
