Who is Eligible to Take PrEP?

PrEP is for adults and adolescents who:

  • do not have HIV

  • are at risk of getting HIV from sex or injection drug use

  • weigh at least 35 kg (77 lb).

Health care providers should have conversations with ALL their sexually active patients about PrEP and how it can protect them from HIV.

Of note there are limitations of use:

DESCOVY is not indicated in individuals at risk of HIV-1 from receptive vaginal sex because effectiveness in this population has not been evaluated
