HIV is more preventable than ever. You may already know about HIV prevention options such as male (external) and female (internal) condoms, and testing. Let?s talk about a few more: PrEP, PEP, and U=U.

? U=U is when a person living with HIV takes medications to keep the virus at very low levels (called an undetectable viral load). Many large studies show that people who have an undetectable viral load have no risk of passing HIV through sex. U=U is short for ?undetectable = untransmittable.?

? PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a daily pill to help keep you HIV-negative. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective. PrEP is safe and generally well tolerated. Most insurance plans (public and private) cover PrEP.

? PEP, or post-exposure prophylaxis, is a combination of medications you can take after a possible exposure to HIV. PEP is most effective the sooner it?s started, and must be started within 72 hours of the exposure. PEP is taken daily for 28?30 days.

These strategies work for people of all genders, sexual orientations, ages, and people who inject drugs.

You can use these HIV-prevention strategies alone or in combination to reduce your risk of getting HIV. Take charge of your sexual health!

This is a selected collection of research relevant to HIV prevention for U.S. women. It includes citations on condoms, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and undetectable=untransmittable (U=U).

The following questions helped narrow the parameters:

? Does this reference move forward HIV prevention implementation?

? Are the findings new or novel?

? Are the conclusions relevant to HIV-negative U.S. women?

? Will the findings be relevant a year from now?

? Is the publication well written and easy to understand?

? Is the data helpful for HIV prevention implementers?
