    HIV Prevention

    Today, more tools than ever are available to prevent HIV. The Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign encourages those at risk for HIV to talk about testing, condoms, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and HIV treatment so that they can take action to protect themselves and their partners.

    HIV Testing

    Knowing your HIV status helps you choose options to stay healthy.

    condoms

    Condoms are highly effective at preventing both HIV and other STDs.

    PrEP

    Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can greatly reduce your risk of HIV.

    Treatment

    HIV Treatment keeps you healthy and protects others.

    Learn the basics about HIV prevention. How do I protect myself from HIV? How can I start PrEP? Can I talk to my doctor about HIV prevention methods? Will condoms protect me from HIV?
