<h1>ON-DEMAND PrEP</h1>
<p>The most effective way to prevent HIV is to take PrEP every day.</p>
<p>Using PrEP &ldquo;on-demand&rdquo; may lower the risk of HIV in people who have anal sex.&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;On demand&rdquo; means using PrEP only around the time of sex</strong>. In the best study of on-demand PrEP, most people were having sex often. This might have made on-demand PrEP seem more effective than it is.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Most people who were&nbsp;studied identified as male, and had male sexual partners.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>No medications are approved by Health Canada to be used on-demand for HIV PrEP</strong>.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>On-demand PrEP should only be considered for anal sex</strong>. It should not be used by people who have&nbsp;vaginal or frontal sex, or by people who share drug equipment. On-demand PrEP is not recommended for people with active hepatitis B&nbsp;infections.</p>
<h3>HOW TO TAKE PrEP ON-DEMAND:&nbsp;</h3>
<p><strong>If you know that you might have anal sex without a condom:</strong><u></u><u></u></p>
<p>&middot; Take 2 tenofovir DF/emtricitabine 300 / 200 mg (Truvada) pills 2 - 24 hours before sex</p>
<p>&middot; AND take 1 tenofovir DF/emtricitabine 300 / 200 mg (Truvada) pill every 24 hours until you have 2 sex-free days<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><strong>FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR ONGOING&nbsp;HIV TESTING AND MONITORING.</strong></p>
