Less than 10% of people experience side effects on PrEP. While some people do experience side effects, the vast majority of people don’t experience any at all. Those that do usually only have them for a short amount of time as they get used to the drug.
The fear of side effects shouldn’t hold you back from trying PrEP. Regular check-ups with your clinician will ensure that you are doing well while on PrEP, and that any side effects are managed.
