PrEP est l'abréviation de prophylaxie pré-exposition.

Il s'agit d'une pilule de prévention du VIH à prendre une fois par jour qui réduit le risque de contracter le VIH jusqu'à 99 %. La présence du médicament dans votre circulation sanguine empêche le VIH de s'installer, ce qui vous permet de rester séronégatif.

DoxyPEP is short for doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis.

It’s a medication that reduces your risk of contracting syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea when taken after a potential exposure, such as having unprotected (condomless) anal, oral or vaginal intercourse. You take it within 72 hours after having condomless sex.

PrEP is recommended for persons with the highest risk of HIV infection, including (but not limited to):
‍

• Les hommes qui ont des relations sexuelles avec des hommes et des femmes transgenres

• Les hommes et les femmes hétérosexuels qui ont une exposition à risque élevé pour le VIH (tel que le fait d’avoir un partenaire avec une infection au VIH connue, les travailleurs du sexe, ou le fait d’avoir des relations sexuelles avec une personne à haut risque pour le VIH)

• Les personnes qui s'injectent des drogues.

DoxyPEP is currently only recommended for men who have sex with men, trans women and other gender-diverse people born with a penis. Additionally, DoxyPEP may be right for you if you:
‍

• have had a bacterial STI in the past year and have had condomless anal or oral sexual contact with ≥ 1 cis male or trans female partner in the past year

• have a history of syphilis infection

• have had multiple cis male or trans female sex partners in the prior year, even if you have not previously been diagnosed with an STI
  

• If you have health insurance, PrEP is likely available to you for free, as the Affordable Care Act mandates that most health insurance plans provide PrEP at no cost. Freddie partners with Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to provide clinical services related to PrEP – such as consultations, at-home lab tests, and prescription delivery – for free as well.
  

• DoxyPEP is covered by most private insurance plans. Following your assessment, we'll be able to give you more information on your coverage for DoxyPEP.

PrEP: When PrEP is taken daily, it reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by 99%.

• La PrEP est très efficace pour les rapports sexuels anaux après la prise quotidienne de la PrEP de manière constante pendant sept jours.

• La PrEP est très efficace pour les rapports sexuels vaginaux après la prise quotidienne de la PrEP de manière constante pendant 21 jours.

Research also suggests PrEP can reduce the risk of getting HIV from drug injection by 84%, but there is less data around its efficacy.

DoxyPEP: Studies show that in people born with a penis, DoxyPEP reduced the risk of chlamydia by 70-89%, syphilis by 73-87%, and gonorrhea by 51-57% when taken as prescribed.
