We often think HIV happens somewhere else, to someone else. The numbers tell a different story, and understanding them can help you make more informed choices about your sexual health.

BLACK PEOPLE ACCOUNTED FOR 39% OF NEW HIV DIAGNOSES* BUT JUST 15% OF PrEP USERS.** LATINO PEOPLE REPRESENTED 34% OF NEW HIV DIAGNOSES* BUT ONLY 18% OF PrEP USERS.**

But, what is PrEP and why does it matter?

PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis. That means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. When taken as directed, PrEP can be about 99% effective in preventing HIV through sex.
