HIV Prevention PrEP
Our HIV Prevention PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) service is dedicated to helping individuals at high risk of contracting HIV protect themselves effectively. PrEP is a daily medication that can significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission when taken consistently. Our knowledgeable healthcare providers conduct thorough assessments and offer personalized counseling to determine if PrEP is suitable for each individual. We prioritize patient confidentiality and create a safe and non-judgmental environment for those seeking this preventive option. Our commitment to HIV prevention aims to empower individuals to take control of their sexual health and reduce the risk of HIV transmission, contributing to a healthier and safer community overall.
