HIV & AIDS
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV is an infection that breaks down your immune system and can lead to AIDs. There is no cure, but there is treatment. HIV is spread through bodily fluids. Condoms can help protect you from getting HIV. PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis. It’s a daily pill that can help prevent HIV. If you don’t have HIV, taking PrEP every day can lower your chances of getting HIV from sex by more than 90%. PrEP is also known by the brand name Truvada.
