Patient information

What to expect.

What is PrEP?

Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is medicine used by HIV-negative people to reduce the likelihood of acquiring HIV. It must be taken as prescribed and does not prevent other sexually transmissible infections.

Your consultation

Dr Suzana Kareva-Lega provides PrEP assessment, prescribing and follow-up. Your appointment includes a confidential discussion of your circumstances and the testing needed before treatment.

Results and follow-up

Repeat appointments help confirm that PrEP remains suitable, review adherence and side effects, and arrange HIV, STI and kidney monitoring. Urgent assessment is needed after a recent possible exposure because post-exposure treatment is time-sensitive.

Prepare for your visit

What to bring.

Having the right information available can reduce delays and help your doctor understand the request.

  • Current medicines and allergies
  • Previous HIV or STI results if available
  • Relevant vaccination history
  • Questions about daily or event-based dosing
Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

Does PrEP prevent every STI?

No. PrEP reduces the risk of HIV when used correctly but does not prevent infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea or syphilis.

Can I start PrEP immediately?

Testing and clinical assessment are required first. Timing depends on results and your individual circumstances.

What if I may have been exposed recently?

Seek urgent medical advice because post-exposure prophylaxis is time-sensitive and different from PrEP.
