PrEP is recommended for persons with the highest risk of HIV infection, including (but not limited to):
Men who have sex with men and transgender women
Heterosexual men and women who have high-risk exposure (such as having a partner with known HIV infection, sex workers, or having sex with a person at high risk for HIV)
People who inject drugs
DoxyPEP is currently only recommended for men who have sex with men, trans women and other gender-diverse people born with a penis. Additionally, DoxyPEP may be right for you if you:
have had a bacterial STI in the past year and have had condomless anal or oral sexual contact with ≥ 1 cis male or trans female partner in the past year
have a history of syphilis infection
have had multiple cis male or trans female sex partners in the prior year, even if you have not previously been diagnosed with an STI
Please speak with a clinician to assess whether PrEP or DoxyPEP are right for you.
