Let’s Talk About PrEP.

HIV PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a prevention strategy where medication is taken to reduce the risk of contracting HIV. It can only be taken by those who are HIV negative and highly recommended to be taken by all sexually active persons as a preventive measure.

The CDC reports that as of 2021, there was about 36,000 HIV persons living in Maryland!
