Starting the conversation with a healthcare provider about PrEP is the first step

When you’re open about sexual health with a healthcare provider, they can help you stay better protected. Having an open conversation with a healthcare provider means they can help you decide which safer sex practices and prevention methods are right for you. They are trained to be knowledgeable and can answer questions you may have. The more they know about things, such as past and current partners or how often you use condoms, the better they can help you stay healthy.

Not sure what to ask? Here are some potential conversation starters:

“How effective is DESCOVY for PrEP^® at preventing HIV?”
“I don’t have sex often…Should I still consider DESCOVY for PrEP?”
“I’m in a relationship, and we’re not seeing anyone else. Could I still benefit from DESCOVY for PrEP?”
“Besides taking DESCOVY for PrEP, how else can I help protect myself from HIV?”
