We provide HIV Pre- and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis treatment to prevent the spread of HIV infection. Antiretroviral (ARV) therapy not only helps people living with HIV, it also plays a key role in preventing transmission of the virus. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (or PrEP) is when people at high risk for HIV take HIV medicines daily to lower their chances of getting infected. PrEP can stop HIV from taking hold and spreading throughout your body. Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (or PEP) involves taking a short course of ARV drugs, usually for a month, after a high-risk exposure, to prevent HIV infection from taking hold in your body.
