And I am HIV Positive

You are HIV possible, which means anyone can acquire HIV. Remember the H, in HIV stands for human. As a human being you can acquire HIV through mother-child transmission, sharing drug injection equipment, such as needles and syringes, and through sexual activity including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. So, let’s talk about building your sexual health toolbox. Your sexual health toolbox contains options for you to ensure you have a healthy, fun, and pleasurable sex life.

PrEP, short for pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a safe and effective medicine that prevents HIV infection from sex or injection drug use. PrEP liberates you by giving you the freedom to have sex your way.

PrEP can be another tool that is a part of your sexual health toolbox, which also includes knowing your status, because no matter your HIV status, you have options.

Protection is essential

I Am HIV Possible

Just as you would use different tools for different jobs, your sexual health toolbox should include options that help you protect your health and meet your needs. These tools can include regular HIV and STI testing, condoms, open communication with partners, and prevention methods that fit your lifestyle. The more you know about your options, the more empowered you are to make choices that work for you.
