YOUR prevention OPTIONS

About Prep

At The Corner, we offer Truvada, Descovy, and Apretude for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). PrEP is a medication taken to prevent HIV infection. PrEP is highly effective for the prevention of HIV when it is taken as prescribed. The medication reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by 99% and by 74% for injection drug use. PrEP does not prevent other STIs, but it is more than 99% effective in preventing HIV. PrEP does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy.  

Want to stay HIV-negative? Call us at 901-896-0739 or text “PrEP APPT” at 901-896-0739. 

About Pep

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a medication taken to prevent HIV infection after potential exposure to HIV. PEP must be started within 72 hours (about 3 days) of possible exposure to be effective. PEP does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy. PEP is not a substitute for regular HIV prevention such as taking Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), using condoms consistently and correctly during each sexual encounter, reducing sexual partners, and practicing abstinence.
