PREP ?

Recommended Posts

Not sure about in Pattaya or a Pharmacy...

 

But I got some PrEP (Truvada) last year from Pulse Clinic in Bangkok in Silom.  Their website is https://www.silompulse.com.

 

You have to get tested to see if you are negative first, before you can get the PrEP of course, because the medicine is not for HIV + folks.

 

This was my haul last year.  I forgot what how much I paid for it but it wasn't that expensive:

Thanks for the replys ..

I can buy it online in the UK perfectly legally it seems, without any pre testing, with the onus on you to make sure you are negative first.

Just seems strange that it is not more readily available, especially in Thailand ..lol

So here is the answer to my question.

Thanks NIrish Guy for the Web URL

 

It’s estimated that it takes at least seven days for PrEP to reach high levels of protection in the body. When used correctly, Truvada for PrEP provides 92%–99% reduction in HIV risk for HIV-negative individuals who take the pills every day as directed.
