🎙️🎙️Treatment as Prevention is an effective way to reduce HIV rates in the community. It has been medically proven that if a HIV+ person stays undetectable for 6 consecutive months (no virus is found in a sample of blood), that person can not pass the virus to their sexual partner. U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable). , , , , , ,

🎙️🎙️Getting on PrEP is a great way to reduce HIV rates in society. PrEP is a pill or injection that reduces the risk by about 99% when used correctly and consistently. PrEP doesn't protect against other STI's, so using a condom is still recommended. PrEP now has an injection that provides protection from HIV for 6 months. That's 2 shots a year and your completely protected from getting HIV. Action Front Center located at 33 Chestnut Street 2nd floor Rochester, NY has free sexual health items including condoms and l**e, or you can speak with a health educator about beginning PrEP. Or call 585-262-4330 option 2 and ask the receptionist to speak with a health educator about beginning PrEP, or to be tested for HIV or any STI. , , , , , , ,
