Some important HIV Prevention facts include abstinence, never sharing needles, and using condoms correctly every time you have sex. HIV prevention medications such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) may also be used (PEP).
Condoms and HIV prevention are intrinsically linked. When used correctly and consistently, latex male and female condoms are both very effective in preventing HIV and many other STDs.
