PREP stands for PRe-Exposure Prophylaxis – the idea of taking a medication before possible exposure to HIV that will significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission. PrEP is very effective as reducing the risk of contracting HIV for people who are at high risk – men who have sex with men, injecting drug users and people engaged in sex work.
PrEP consultations and prescriptions are available from our clinic, Melbourne Sexual Health Clinic. Sexual health testing is available at our clinic (our pathology nurse is here 0900-1300 Mon-Sat), MSHC and Pronto.
