Where to get PrEP and PEP in Montreal
What is PrEP?
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an antiretroviral pill that an HIV-negative person can take before engaging in behaviors that could infect them with HIV. Using PrEP prevents up to 92% of infections when the medication is taken as prescribed.

What is PEP?
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a way to help prevent the transmission of HIV in an HIV-negative person if they may have been recently exposed to HIV. It reduces the risk of HIV infection by over 80% when the medication is started within 72 hours (the earlier the better) and if taken as prescribed.
