What is Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (准备)?
Pre-暴露预防, or 准备, is a way for people who are at risk of getting HIV to prevent HIV infection by taking a pill every day. The pill (brand name Truvada) contains two medicines (tenofovir and emtricitabine) that are used in combination with other medicines to treat HIV. When used by people who are HIV negative, 准备 is very effective at preventing HIV infection when taken as directed.

它是如何工作的??
Somebody who does not have HIV infection takes an antiretroviral pill (Truvada™) every day to keep an effective level of medicine in their system. If HIV exposure happens, the medicine stops the HIV from entering the cells and multiplying. This keeps the person HIV negative. People who use 准备 should commit to taking Truvada™ every day to keep an effective level of medicine in their system.
准备有效吗??
是的! When taken every day as directed, 准备 has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection in people who are at risk for acquiring HIV by up to 99%. If a daily dose is missed, the level of HIV protection may decrease.
准备 does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy.
What is the difference between 准备 and PEP?
Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (准备) means taking a medication 之前 (that's the "Pre" part) you are exposed to HIV to help prevent HIV infection. 准备 medication is taken daily as long as you are at risk to help prevent HIV.
Post-exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) means taking medications 后 (that's the "Post" part) you have been potentially exposed to HIV to help prevent HIV infection. PEP is taken daily for 28 days 后 possible HIV exposure. PEP should be started within 72小时 of the exposure to HIV and is considered a medical emergency. You should go to your local Emergency Room or participating Pharmacy to start PEP medication 尽快 曝光后.
Is 准备 covered by insurance?
是的, most insurances cover 准备 services and medications. If you do not have insurance or if your insurance does not cover the total cost of services, New York State has a program to help pay for 准备 services. We have staff members who can help with payment/insurance questions and problems.
