Today, let's talk about PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) and why it's not safe for people living with HIV. What is PrEP? PrEP is a daily medication that helps HIV-negative people stay negative. It's a powerful tool, but it's not for everyone. Important: PrEP is not for people who are HIV-positive If you're living with HIV, taking PrEP can be dangerous. Here's why: 1. It won't treat your HIV: PrEP is designed to prevent HIV, not treat it. 2. Drug resistance: Taking PrEP when you have HIV could make the virus resistant to medication. This makes future treatment harder. 3. Missed opportunity for proper care: You need comprehensive HIV treatment (called ART) to stay healthy, not just PrEP. Know Your Status Before starting PrEP, you must get tested for HIV. This ensures you get the right care for your needs. At SisterLove, we believe everyone deserves access to: • Regular HIV testing • Proper treatment • Compassionate healthcare We're especially committed to supporting Black women and LGBTQIA+ individuals who often face unfair barriers to care. How You Can Take Action 1. Get Tested: Knowing your HIV status is the first step to taking control of your health. 2. Ask Questions: We're here to provide information about HIV prevention, testing, and treatment. 3. Support SisterLove: Your help allows us to continue our work in education, advocacy, and support. Together, we can fight stigma, raise awareness, and push for fair healthcare access for all. Want to Learn More?
