How to take DESCOVY for PrEP

If you and your healthcare provider decide that DESCOVY for PrEP is right for you, there are a few things that are important to know:

  • Take DESCOVY once a day, every day, with or without food. Not just when you think you’ve been exposed to HIV.
  • Do not miss any doses of DESCOVY. Missing doses may increase your risk of getting HIV.
  • DESCOVY helps reduce the risk of getting HIV. It doesn’t prevent other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
  • Use safer sex practices, like using condoms, to help reduce the risk of getting STIs. Talk with your healthcare provider to learn more.
