What is HIV Prevention?
HIV can be spread through unprotected vaginal, oral or anal sex, anywhere there is an exchange of bodily fluids such as semen and also blood from any tissue tears. The chance of contracting HIV increases with the presence of other STDs, which makes regular checkups crucial. In addition to other sexual health checkups, our affiliated clinic offers HIV prevention, which includes screening and treatment. HIV tests offered are HIV PrEP and HIV PEP, which differ based on whether or not you have been exposed to the HIV virus.
