When talking to young people about PrEP, providing clear information is essential. You should also try to address any concerns that they may have. You may want to start the conversation by explaining that PrEP is a medication that HIV-negative individuals can take to prevent HIV infection. Go on to explain the different PrEP options that are available. Highlight that it is most commonly taken as a daily pill, though the vaginal ring and injectable PrEP are available in some regions. It’s important to explain that PrEP is not a lifetime commitment—it is only needed during periods of high HIV risk. Additionally, be clear that while PrEP is highly effective against HIV, it does not protect against other STIs. So using condoms is still important. Our PrEP page has lots of advice and resources for you to use and share.
