HIV medication suppresses the multiplication of HIV in the body. HIV can then no longer be transmitted during sex. HIV treatment enables a good and long life. If you are HIV-positive and take your HIV medication regularly, your therapy also protects your sexual partners from infection.
After unprotected anal sex (e.g. without a condom, PrEP not taken for a long time) with a high HIV risk, a four-week PEP with HIV medication can usually prevent HIV infection. This guide can help you get PEP locally.
