Before you start

This private checklist follows CDC clinical guidance for PrEP. It asks about your HIV status and a few behaviour-based questions. There is nothing to sign up for and your answers are never saved.

This is a screening aid, not a prescription. Meeting an indicator means PrEP is worth discussing with a provider. Starting PrEP always requires a confirmed HIV-negative test first.

About this checklist. Based on the CDC "Preexposure Prophylaxis for the Prevention of HIV Infection: 2021 Update" clinical practice guideline. It reflects standard indicators, not a personal medical assessment. Starting PrEP always requires a confirmed HIV-negative test and a conversation with a qualified provider.
Why This Matters

PrEP Is One of the Most Effective Ways to Prevent HIV

"When taken as prescribed, PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99%, and from injection drug use by at least 74%." US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

What this checks for

Whether you meet CDC's standard indicators for offering PrEP, and whether you may need urgent PEP after a recent exposure instead.

Who it is for

Any HIV-negative adult, whatever their relationship status. The questions are about exposure, not about who you are or who your partners are.

Talk confidentially with a HubPharm pharmacist. We can arrange an HIV test, a PrEP consultation and discreet delivery through our HIV prevention programme.

Understanding PrEP and HIV Prevention

Clear, judgement-free information on PrEP: what it is, how well it works, the different options, how it differs from PEP and how to get it in Nigeria.

What is PrEP?

PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis: HIV medicine taken by people who are HIV-negative, before any possible exposure, to stop the virus from taking hold. It is one of the most effective HIV prevention tools available, alongside condoms, regular testing and treatment for partners living with HIV.

Types of PrEP

OptionHow it is takenGood to know
Daily oral PrEPOne pill every day (usually tenofovir with emtricitabine or lamivudine)The most widely available option. Works best when taken daily.
Cabotegravir injectionAn injection every 2 months after starter dosesNo daily pills. Availability is still limited.
Lenacapavir injectionAn injection twice a yearBeing rolled out in selected Nigerian states from 2026 through government programmes.

Some people use "on-demand" oral PrEP around the time of sex, but it is only suitable for certain people. Ask a clinician which option is right for you.

PrEP vs PEP: what is the difference?

  • PrEP is taken before possible exposure, on an ongoing basis, to prevent HIV.
  • PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is an emergency 28-day course of HIV medicine started within 72 hours after a possible exposure, such as a broken condom, sexual assault or a needle-stick injury.

If you may have been exposed in the last 72 hours, don't wait. PEP works best the sooner it starts and will most likely not work after 72 hours. Get urgent, confidential PEP help on WhatsApp.

Starting PrEP: what to expect

  • HIV test: a confirmed negative result is required before starting.
  • Baseline checks: kidney function, hepatitis B and, usually, STI screening.
  • Getting protected: how long it takes to reach full protection depends on the type of PrEP. Your clinician will advise you.
  • Follow-up: an HIV test and check-in about every 3 months, plus regular refills.

HubPharm makes this simple: a confidential consultation, testing support, discreet delivery and refill reminders through Afiya, our AI health companion on WhatsApp.

PrEP in Nigeria

Oral PrEP is available in Nigeria through government-supported facilities and private providers. In 2026, the federal government, through the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), began rolling out the twice-yearly lenacapavir injection in selected states, with approval from NAFDAC.

If you'd like to start PrEP privately and without long queues, HubPharm can arrange a confidential consultation, connect you with testing and deliver your medicine discreetly in plain packaging.

PrEP myths and facts

  • Myth: PrEP is only for certain groups. Fact: any HIV-negative adult who could be exposed to HIV can use PrEP.
  • Myth: PrEP protects against all STIs. Fact: it only prevents HIV. Condoms help prevent other infections.
  • Myth: PrEP has serious side effects. Fact: most people have none or mild ones that settle in the first weeks, and clinicians monitor you.
  • Myth: you can start PrEP without testing. Fact: a negative HIV test is always needed first.

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is medicine taken by HIV-negative people to prevent HIV. It comes as a daily pill or as long-acting injections given every two months (cabotegravir) or twice a year (lenacapavir).

When taken as prescribed, PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% and from injection drug use by at least 74%, according to the US CDC. It does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections, so condoms still matter.

PrEP is taken before possible exposure to prevent HIV. PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is an emergency 28-day course started within 72 hours after a possible exposure. If you may have been exposed in the last 3 days, seek PEP immediately.

No. Guidelines say every sexually active adult should be informed about PrEP and offered it if they want it. This checklist reflects the standard clinical indicators, but wanting PrEP is reason enough to ask.

Yes. Oral PrEP is available in Nigeria, and in 2026 the government, through NACA, began rolling out the twice-yearly lenacapavir injection in selected states. HubPharm can arrange a confidential HIV test, consultation and discreet delivery.

A confirmed negative HIV test is required. Clinicians usually also check kidney function and hepatitis B, and offer STI screening. You then have HIV testing about every 3 months while on PrEP.

Most people have no side effects or mild ones, such as nausea or headache, that usually settle within the first few weeks. Your clinician will monitor you during follow-up visits.

PrEP is only for HIV-negative people, so a positive test means PrEP is not appropriate. HubPharm can connect you confidentially with HIV treatment and coordinated care. Starting treatment early leads to the best health outcomes.
