&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to take PrEP? When is the best time to take PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective medication regimen designed to prevent HIV infection in individuals at substantial risk. When taken correctly, PrEP significantly reduces the likelihood of HIV transmission. Understanding the proper methods and timing for PrEP administration is crucial to maximize its protective benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://wa.me/66652371936&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pre-PrEP checklist: How can I get PrEP at EU Health &amp;amp; Wellness?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you already have the prescription?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If you already have a prescription for PrEP, you can show us your prescription and buy the medication.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If not, do you have health check-up results from the last 3 months?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you already have one&lt;/strong&gt;, you can get a 12-month supply at EU Health &amp;amp; Wellness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you do not&lt;/strong&gt; have recent health check-up results, you can get tested at EU Health &amp;amp; Wellness and receive a 12-month supply of PrEP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;You can also get fewer than 12 bottles and have the rest delivered to your door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;How to Take PrEP for Maximum HIV Protection&lt;/span&gt;&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;There are several ways to take PrEP, and the best method depends on 2 factors:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;How frequently do you have sex?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Whether you can plan sexual activity in advance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Since 2013, the U.S. Clinical Practice Guidelines, along with Thailand&#39;s HIV Prevention Guidelines since 2014, have recommended daily oral PrEP as a highly effective way to reduce the risk of HIV in adults.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Our PrEP recommendations are also informed by two European studies that explored different PrEP-taking strategies to maximize HIV prevention.&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;Daily PrEP Regimen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The daily PrEP regimen is suitable for individuals engaging in vaginal, frontal, or anal sex. Consistent daily intake ensures continuous protection against HIV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dosage&lt;/strong&gt;: Take one tablet every day at the same time, preferably with or after food to enhance absorption.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Onset of Protection&lt;/strong&gt;: For those engaging in vaginal or frontal sex, it&#39;s essential to take PrEP daily for seven consecutive days before achieving full protective benefits. If you anticipate sexual activity within this initial week, consult your healthcare provider for guidance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Missed Dose&lt;/strong&gt;: If you miss a dose but remember within 12 hours of your scheduled time, take it immediately. If more than 12 hours have passed, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Consistent adherence is vital; missing more than two doses in a week may compromise protection. In such cases, seek advice from your healthcare provider.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discontinuation&lt;/strong&gt;: After your last sexual encounter, continue taking PrEP daily for seven additional days before stopping. Always consult with your healthcare provider prior to discontinuing PrEP to ensure continued protection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On-Demand PrEP Regimen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The on-demand, or event-driven, PrEP regimen is specifically for individuals engaging in anal sex and is not recommended for vaginal or frontal sex. This method provides flexibility for those with infrequent sexual activity.&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;764&quot; height=&quot;382&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dosage Schedule&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Initial Dose&lt;/strong&gt;: Take 2 tablets simultaneously between 2 and 24 hours before anticipated anal sex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Second Dose&lt;/strong&gt;: Take 1 tablet 24 hours after the initial dose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Third Dose&lt;/strong&gt;: Take 1 tablet 24 hours following the second dose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Continued Activity&lt;/strong&gt;: If sexual activity continues, maintain a daily intake of one tablet every 24 hours until 48 hours after the last sexual encounter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discontinuation&lt;/strong&gt;: After the final sexual event, continue taking one tablet daily for 2 consecutive days before stopping.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Important Considerations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hepatitis B&lt;/strong&gt;: Individuals with hepatitis B should not use the on-demand PrEP regimen, as intermittent use can reactivate the virus, leading to liver complications. Continuous daily PrEP is advisable in such cases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vomiting&lt;/strong&gt;: If you vomit within one hour of taking PrEP, take another dose. If vomiting occurs more than one hour after ingestion, there&#39;s no need for an additional dose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Difficulty Swallowing Tablets&lt;/strong&gt;: PrEP tablets can be crushed and mixed with water, orange juice, or grape juice for easier consumption.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Regular Monitoring&lt;/strong&gt;: Before starting PrEP, undergo testing for HIV, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and kidney function. Regular follow-up tests, typically every three months, are essential to monitor health and ensure PrEP&#39;s continued efficacy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
