What is PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis)?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It weakens a person\u2019s immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. There is currently no effective cure for HIV. However, with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled and even prevented.<\/p>\n

HIV PrEP are medications used to reduce the risk of acquiring HIV. There are several FDA-approved PrEP medications, all of which require a person to take a pill by mouth once a day<\/strong>. These clinical research studies are exploring other options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you HIV-negative, curious about prevention research? You may be interested in participating in our clinical study for an HIV preventative medication. The purpose of our research is to study once-monthly PrEP compared <\/span>to long-lasting (twice-yearly<\/span>) injection. This study is open to gay and bisexual men, as well as, transgender women. Participants will be compensated for time and travel.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
