PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a highly effective daily or long-acting medicine that prevents HIV infection in people who are HIV-negative. Answer a few private questions based on CDC clinical guidance to see if you meet the standard indicators for PrEP.
This checklist is based on CDC clinical guidance for PrEP. It asks about your HIV status and a few private, behavior-based questions. There is nothing to sign up for and no answers are saved.
PrEP is only for people who are HIV-negative.
This tool is built for adults. Younger people can still get PrEP - please speak with a provider directly.
This is one of the most common reasons people are offered PrEP.
A recent bacterial STI is a recognized indicator for PrEP.
PrEP is strongly recommended for HIV-negative partners in this situation, especially if the partner's viral load is unknown or not fully suppressed.
Shared injection equipment is a recognized indicator for PrEP, independent of sexual activity.
CDC guidance says every sexually active adult should be informed about PrEP and can choose it, regardless of specific risk factors.
Interpretation goes here.
"When taken as prescribed, PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99 percent, and from injection drug use by at least 74 percent."
Whether you meet CDC's standard clinical indicators for offering PrEP: recent condomless sex with a partner of positive or unknown status, a recent bacterial STI, a partner living with HIV, or shared injection equipment.
Any HIV-negative adult, regardless of relationship status or how you identify. CDC guidance is intentionally about behaviors and exposure, not about who you are.
If PrEP looks like a fit, chat with Afiya or book a confidential consultation. HubPharm can arrange HIV testing and connect you with PrEP options through our HIV program.

Everything people ask us before checking their PrEP eligibility.
Email UsPrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is medicine taken by HIV-negative people to prevent getting HIV. It is available as a daily pill or, for eligible adults, a long-acting injection given every two months.
No. CDC guidance says every sexually active adult should be informed about PrEP and offered it if they want it, regardless of whether they meet a specific indicator. This checklist reflects the common clinical indicators, but wanting PrEP is reason enough to ask.
Yes. Your answers are used only to calculate your result in your browser. Nothing is stored, logged, or shared unless you choose to contact us via WhatsApp or email afterward.
PrEP is only for HIV-negative people, so a positive test means PrEP is not appropriate. Instead, HubPharm can connect you directly with HIV treatment and coordinated care - starting treatment early leads to the best outcomes.
