What is PrEP?
PrEP is an internationally recommended HIV prevention method, in which people who do not have HIV take the HIV medication emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Truvada), to prevent getting HIV.
When taken as directed PrEP is 99% effective at preventing HIV. In New Zealand we use the generic format of Truvada.
