Learn how TAAL+ Healthcare’s PrEP services deliver safe, expert-guided choices for those seeking prevention or support for sexual wellness.

What is PrEP

Pre-exposure prophylaxis, commonly known as PrEP, is a preventive medication regimen for people at ongoing risk for HIV. Taken before possible exposure, PrEP significantly lowers the chance of becoming HIV positive.

• PrEP is a daily pill containing antiretroviral medicines.
• It reduces HIV risk by up to 99 percent when used consistently.
• PrEP is recommended for anyone at risk, such as people with HIV positive partners, those with multiple partners, or individuals not regularly using condoms.

By integrating PrEP into your care plan, you proactively take charge of your health and future.

Why take PrEP

People opt for PrEP because it offers potent protection and more peace of mind around their sexual health. Some key benefits include:

• Highly effective at preventing sexual transmission of HIV
• Allows for greater control and autonomy in preventing infection
• Non-judgmental, stigma-free solution for anyone at risk
• Suited to diverse lifestyles and circumstances

Taking PrEP can help you feel supported and confident, especially when guided by specialised healthcare providers like those at TAAL+ Healthcare.

Is PrEP right for you

Determining if PrEP fits your needs relies on a few factors. You may benefit from PrEP if:

• You have an HIV positive partner
• Your sexual partners’ status is unknown
• You use condoms inconsistently
• You inject drugs with shared needles

A confidential online or offline consultation with an HIV specialist can confirm your eligibility and address your questions about PrEP.

What drugs are approved for PrEP

The most commonly used HIV prevention drugs for PrEP in India include:

• Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with emtricitabine (TDF/FTC)
• Other WHO-approved combinations available through TAAL+ Healthcare’s online pharmacy

Your doctor will prescribe the right medication based on current guidelines and your health status.

Is PrEP safe

PrEP has a strong safety record when taken as directed. It is generally well-tolerated and monitored by healthcare professionals.

• Side effects, if any, are usually mild (like stomach upset, headache) and transient
• Routine kidney function and HIV tests are recommended
• Most people experience no major issues or long-term problems

Regular follow-ups with your provider further ensure safe and effective use of PrEP.

How do you get PrEP

Getting started with PrEP is straightforward at TAAL+ Healthcare:

• Book a confidential consultation online or in person via their booking platform
• Undergo recommended HIV and kidney function tests
• Receive a prescription for PrEP if eligible
• Fill your prescription through TAAL+ Healthcare’s pharmacy with convenient home delivery

Expert support is available 24/7, so you can start PrEP privately and affordably.

What is treatment as prevention

Treatment as prevention refers to using HIV medicine to reduce the viral load in people living with HIV, ultimately preventing transmission to others. This approach, known as “U=U” (Undetectable equals Untransmittable), has revolutionised HIV prevention.

• People with undetectable viral loads do not transmit HIV sexually
• Combining treatment and prevention protects the individual and their community

Staying on treatment ensures both your personal health and the safety of your partners.

Taking HIV medicine to stay healthy and prevent transmission

For individuals already living with HIV, daily medication supports long-term wellness. It is essential to:

• Take antiretroviral therapy (ART) as prescribed
• Attend regular check-ups at clinics like TAAL+ Healthcare
• Monitor viral load through routine laboratory tests

This routine is key for maintaining immune health and reducing infectiousness.

Keep your viral load undetectable

Achieving and maintaining an undetectable viral load helps you lead a healthy life and virtually eliminates the risk of transmission. Some essential steps include:

• Adhering to your ART regimen every day
• Seeing your doctor for regular monitoring
• Discussing any changes in health or lifestyle

TAAL+ Healthcare provides compassionate support for all aspects of your ongoing care.

How do we know treatment as prevention works

The success of this strategy is backed by global scientific consensus and real-world evidence. Major studies have shown:

• Consistent ART suppresses viral load to undetectable levels
• People with undetectable viral loads have zero risk of sexual HIV transmission
• Ongoing research continues to affirm safety and effectiveness

This knowledge informs TAAL+ Healthcare’s expert-led HIV management services.
