Choose the HIV Prevention That Works for You
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to protecting yourself. Some people want the simplicity of a shot and not thinking about it for months. Others prefer the flexibility of a daily pill. Both are over 99% effective at preventing HIV when taken correctly, it just comes down to what fits your lifestyle.
Two Proven Ways to Prevent HIV
HIV prevention has come a long way. Today, you have options that fit your life instead of the other way around. Some people love the freedom of a shot every two months — no pills to remember, no pharmacy runs, no thinking about it day to day. Others prefer the daily pill because it feels more in their control and has been trusted for over a decade. The best part? Both options are over 99% effective when used as directed.
The PrEP Shot — Protection Without the Daily Routine
Forget about pills. The HIV prevention injection is given once every two months after your two first doses 30 days apart. No daily reminders, no prescriptions to refill every month, no carrying medication when you travel. Just show up, get your shot, and you’re protected.
Daily PrEP — Flexible and Proven
The daily pill has been protecting people for over a decade. Take it once a day and you’re covered. It’s a great option if you like having control over your routine or want the flexibility to start and stop as needed.
Not Sure Which One Is Right for You?
That’s what we’re here for. Book a free call and we’ll walk through your options together. No pressure, just honest guidance on what might work best for your situation.
What Makes PrEP So Effective?
PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis — a fancy way of saying you take medication before potential exposure to prevent HIV. When taken as prescribed, it’s over 99% effective. That’s not a typo. Over 99%.
It's Not New — It's Just Getting Better
HIV prevention medication has been around for years and has helped hundreds of thousands of people stay negative. The injection is the newest option, approved in Canada in 2024, giving people an alternative to daily pills for the first time.
Prevention on Your Terms
Whether you choose the shot or the pill, you’re taking control of your health. No waiting until something happens. No relying on anyone else. Just protection that works, on your schedule.

How can I help?
I'd like to start PrEP
Let's get you covered!
PrEP Covers HIV.
DoxyPEP Covers the Rest.
PrEP prevents HIV but doesn’t protect against other STIs. DoxyPEP fills that gap. Two pills after unprotected sex helps reduce your risk of bacterial infections like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis.
- Gonorrhea
- Chlamydia
- Syphilis
- How it works: Take within 72 hours of exposure for added bacterial STI protection
