🎙️🎙️An excellent way for preventing yourself from getting HIV is to take PrEP. PrEP is a pill or injection that you take that is over 99% effective in preventing HIV transmission. PrEP doesn't protect you from other STI's, so condom use is still recommended.

Action Front Center located at 33 Chestnut Street 2nd floor can assist you if you would like to begin PrEP.
