In the continuous battle against HIV in Malaysia, we have embraced an innovative tool that significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission: Pre-exposure prophylaxis, commonly known as PrEP. This HIV prevention pill offers a shield of protection for those at higher risk of infection.
Prep HIV prevention pill serves as an additional tool to mitigate HIV virus from taking hold and spreading throughout your body system. Even though PrEP has shown almost 90% reduction of risk of infection, it is important that you still continue to use condoms when having sex as well as a regular follow-up appointment. Regular appointments with your doctors can help you to check your blood for HIV infection and also to see how your body is responding towards the medication.
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a CDC-approved prevention pill designed for people who don’t have HIV but are at potential risk of infection of it. PrEP is a medicine that function similarly to the medication used to treat and prevent malaria when travelling or visiting in tropical countries. It is also the same to birth control pills which intended for daily consumption.
This medication has improved dramatically from year to year. However, there is still no cure for this auto-immune disease. Research shows that this medication can lower down the risk of HIV infection up to 92% compared with the infection rate for people who are not taking the pill.
The PrEP medications are composed of two different types of medicines:
The anti-HIV drugs contained in PrEP medication will stop the virus from entering the cells replicating in your body. This medicine works for both men and women, heterosexual and gay.
This medication is advised to be consumed for a minimum of 7 days consistently before engaging in any potentially risky activities. An occasional forgotten dose of this medication will not make PrEP ineffective. However, for those who are occasionally taking their dose will no be protected from HIV.
Before commencing on PrEP medication, the doctors usually will consult the patient and advise to undergo a number of tests, which includes:
Doctor or healthcare providers may need to ask some questions during the consultation period related to your sexual behaviour and also your sexual partners before prescribing PrEP or any HIV preventive medicines.

PrEP is effectively functioning for a patient who is consistently and correctly use this medication. It will virtually eliminate the risk of becoming infected with HIV. PrEP other benefits include:
