WHAT ARE REASONS PREP MIGHT NOT BE RIGHT FOR ME?

PrEP is not for individuals who:

  1. Have an unknown HIV status

    (Not to worry your healthcare team can help you get tested )

    - OR -

  2. Are HIV Positive

Some other things to consider:

  • For those with Hepatitis B, it can flare if taking oral PrEP medications and then stopping them

  • Oral PrEP medications may not be right for you if you have a history of lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis

    Be sure to talk with your healthcare team and pharmacist about other potential side effects and questions!

Do you have kidney (or renal) impairment?

Some forms of PrEP are still available if you have renal impairment.

Be sure to let your healthcare team know if you have a history of poor kidney (renal) function.
