&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/hiv-prep-in-manila&quot;&gt;Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a highly effective medication that helps prevent HIV infection when taken as prescribed. PrEP is designed specifically for people who do &lt;strong&gt;not have HIV&lt;/strong&gt; but are at higher risk of contracting the virus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;By taking PrEP regularly, you can significantly reduce your chances of acquiring HIV. Currently, two medications are approved for PrEP use, both proven to lower the risk of HIV transmission when used consistently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Does PrEP Work to Prevent HIV?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The medications used for PrEP belong to a class of antiviral drugs called &lt;strong&gt;nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)&lt;/strong&gt;. These drugs work by blocking HIV&amp;rsquo;s ability to multiply inside the body, which helps prevent infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Before starting PrEP, it&amp;rsquo;s essential to visit a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. You must first test &lt;strong&gt;negative for HIV&lt;/strong&gt; before beginning PrEP. Your doctor will also order blood tests to check your liver and kidney functions to ensure they are healthy enough for the medication.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;During your PrEP treatment, it is recommended to have follow-up visits &lt;strong&gt;every 3 months&lt;/strong&gt;. These visits typically include &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/hiv-testing&quot;&gt;HIV testing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and screening for common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/syphilis-in-the-philippines-symptoms-testing-risks-and-effective-treatment&quot;&gt;syphilis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/herpes-simplex-virus-hsv&quot;&gt;herpes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/chlamydia-in-the-philippines-symptoms-testing-and-treatment&quot;&gt;chlamydia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/gonorrhoea-in-the-philippines-symptoms-testing-complications-and-treatment&quot;&gt;gonorrhea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Starting PrEP without confirming your HIV status can lead to serious complications. If you begin PrEP while unknowingly HIV positive, you risk developing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/prep-drug-resistant-hiv&quot;&gt;drug-resistant HIV&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, which can make future treatment more difficult.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Is Medical Guidance Important Before Starting PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Consulting a doctor before starting PrEP is crucial to receive proper counselling and personalised advice. During counselling, your healthcare provider will discuss:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The types of PrEP medications available&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The importance of strict medication adherence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Possible side effects to monitor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The need for regular medical check-ups and testing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The risk of other STIs and how to reduce it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who Should Consider Taking PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;PrEP is recommended for individuals at increased risk of HIV infection, including but not limited to:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;People with an HIV-positive sexual partner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Those who do not consistently use condoms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Individuals who have had an STI in the past six months&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;People who inject drugs and share needles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Those with partners who are HIV positive and inject drugs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Individuals prescribed post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) multiple times&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benefits and Possible Side Effects of PrEP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benefits:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Highly effective in preventing HIV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Convenient daily pill regimen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;A valuable option for serodiscordant couples (where one partner is HIV positive), especially when planning pregnancy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Possible Side Effects:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Some people may experience mild side effects such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Diarrhea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Fatigue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Headache&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Nausea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Most side effects are temporary and tend to improve over time. Your doctor will help you manage any concerns during your follow-ups.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start Your PrEP Journey with PULSE Clinic Philippines&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

These studies looked at different ways to take the treatment. Both of them showed that taking PrEP every day reduced your chances of catching HIV by 86%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

No one who took the TDF/FTC correctly caught HIV in this study. This is the officially recommended way to take PrEP. A doctor would usually recommend this regimen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1506273&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;IPERGAY Study&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;ON DEMAND&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this study, people took 2 TDF/FTC pills between 2 and 24 hours before sex. Then, they took one TDF/FTC pill every day until 2 days had passed after the last time they had sex without a condom. This regimen is not recommended for vaginal sex. (And it&amp;rsquo;s not recommended for gay people who enjoy chemsex or don&amp;rsquo;t plan to have sex very well because there&amp;rsquo;s evidence that many people forget to take the third and fourth pill.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Using a &lt;strong&gt;2-1-1&lt;/strong&gt; dosage timeline&amp;mdash;two pills between 2 and 24 hours before sex, one pill 24 hours after the first pill, and a final pill 24 hours later&amp;mdash;PrEP is shown to give you the same protection against HIV as taking it every day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/PrEP%20on%20demand%20new.png&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re thinking about PrEP On Demand, it&amp;rsquo;s super important to take all your doses on time. If you&amp;rsquo;re worried about missing doses, chat with your doctor or counsellor about switching to daily PrEP instead. PrEP On Demand only protects you from HIV exposure during anal sex. If you&amp;rsquo;re into activities like chem fun (CF), a daily PrEP course will be more effective in keeping you safe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Frequently Asked Questions About PrEP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I Take PrEP If My Partner Is HIV Positive and I&amp;rsquo;m HIV Negative?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes.&lt;/strong&gt; PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is strongly recommended for people with HIV-positive partners. If your partner has not yet started HIV treatment or hasn&amp;rsquo;t achieved an undetectable viral load, taking PrEP can reduce your risk of HIV transmission by up to &lt;strong&gt;99%&lt;/strong&gt; when taken consistently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If your partner is on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) and has an &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/non-stigmatizing-hiv-clinic-in-the-philippines-embracing-undetectable-untransmittable&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;undetectable viral load (U=U)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, the risk of transmission becomes virtually zero. In this case, PrEP may not be medically necessary, but it can offer peace of mind. Always consult with a healthcare provider to make an informed decision tailored to your relationship and health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is PrEP the Same as PEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;PrEP is &lt;strong&gt;preventive&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;mdash;you take it daily &lt;strong&gt;before&lt;/strong&gt; being exposed to HIV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is &lt;strong&gt;emergency treatment taken&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;within 72 hours after&lt;/strong&gt; a potential exposure to HIV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Both are effective, but they serve different purposes. PrEP is a long-term prevention method; PEP is used short-term after a high-risk event.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do I Still Need to Use Condoms If I&amp;rsquo;m on PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes.&lt;/strong&gt; While PrEP is highly effective against HIV, it does &lt;strong&gt;not protect&lt;/strong&gt; against other STIs such as &lt;strong&gt;syphilis, gonorrhea, or chlamydia&lt;/strong&gt;. Using condoms along with PrEP provides &lt;strong&gt;dual protection&lt;/strong&gt; for your sexual health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;You may also consider &lt;strong&gt;DOXYPEP (doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis)&lt;/strong&gt; as an added layer of STI prevention. Combining PrEP, condoms, and DOXYPEP offers the highest level of protection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Long Does It Take for PrEP to Work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;For &lt;strong&gt;anal sex&lt;/strong&gt; (e.g., among MSM): PrEP reaches optimal protection after &lt;strong&gt;7 consecutive days&lt;/strong&gt; of daily use.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;For &lt;strong&gt;vaginal sex or injection drug use&lt;/strong&gt;: protection is achieved after &lt;strong&gt;21 days&lt;/strong&gt; of daily use.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;re using &lt;strong&gt;PrEP On-Demand (2-1-1 dosing)&lt;/strong&gt;, it is only recommended for &lt;strong&gt;anal sex&lt;/strong&gt; and must be taken precisely to be effective.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Are the Side Effects of PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Most people tolerate PrEP well. Temporary side effects may occur during the first few weeks and include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Nausea or upset stomach&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Headache or dizziness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Fatigue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Mild diarrhea or cramps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;These usually resolve as your body adjusts. In rare cases, &lt;strong&gt;kidney function&lt;/strong&gt; may be affected&amp;mdash;routine blood tests are recommended every 3 months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Should I Do If I Experience Side Effects?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If side effects are mild, taking PrEP before bedtime may help. If symptoms persist longer than 4&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;weeks&lt;/strong&gt; or become difficult to manage, &lt;strong&gt;consult your healthcare provider immediately&lt;/strong&gt; for support or adjustment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does PrEP Have Long-Term Side Effects?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;PrEP is considered safe for long-term use. However, your doctor will monitor &lt;strong&gt;kidney and liver function&lt;/strong&gt; through regular blood tests. Severe complications are rare, and most users tolerate long-term PrEP with no issues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I Take PrEP If I&amp;rsquo;m On Other Medications?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Yes&amp;mdash;PrEP does not typically interact with most common medications. However, it&amp;rsquo;s important to &lt;strong&gt;inform your doctor&lt;/strong&gt; of all medications or supplements you&#39;re taking, especially if you have chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or hepatitis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I Use PrEP If I Drink Alcohol or Use Recreational Drugs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Yes. PrEP is &lt;strong&gt;safe to use with alcohol and recreational drugs&lt;/strong&gt;. However, these substances can affect your &lt;strong&gt;adherence&lt;/strong&gt;, which is critical to PrEP&amp;rsquo;s effectiveness. Always plan and consider using reminders or alarms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Can I Stay Adherent to My PrEP Routine?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Take your pill at the &lt;strong&gt;same time every day&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Set phone reminders or use a pillbox.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Keep a backup pill with you when going out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Pair it with a daily habit (like brushing your teeth).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Should I Do If I Forget a Dose?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re on &lt;strong&gt;daily PrEP&lt;/strong&gt;, just take your next dose at the usual time. Missing one dose occasionally does &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; significantly reduce protection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do not double-dose.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re on &lt;strong&gt;PrEP On-Demand (2-1-1)&lt;/strong&gt;, strict timing is essential&amp;mdash;missing a dose can reduce protection. If you miss one, contact your provider for guidance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Should I Take PrEP While Travelling?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Take PrEP at the same time&lt;/strong&gt; as you would at home, regardless of time zones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Pack enough medication for your entire trip, plus a few extra days in case of delays.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Store it in its &lt;strong&gt;original labelled container&lt;/strong&gt;, and carry a &lt;strong&gt;doctor&amp;rsquo;s note or prescription&lt;/strong&gt; in case customs checks your medicine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
