PrEP Program

The Prince George's County Health Department PrEP Program provides comprehensive education and clinical services for Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). PrEP, a biomedical intervention for HIV prevention is available to eligible clients who are HIV negative and are at risk of getting HIV from sex or injection drug use. PrEP is a daily pill that when taken as prescribed, is highly effective for preventing HIV.

Is PrEP for you?

Are you HIV NEGATIVE and

you have had anal or vaginal sex in the past 6 months, and you:
have a sexual partner with HIV (especially if the partner has an unknown or detectable viral load),
have not consistently used a condom, or
have been diagnosed with an STD in the past 6 months.

Or

you inject drugs and
have an injection partner with HIV, or
share needles, syringes, or other injection equipment.

Or

you’ve been prescribed PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) and
report continued risk behavior or
