PrEP Counseling in Patna

Service Description

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is an HIV-prevention option for people who do not have HIV and may have an ongoing risk of exposure. When taken correctly and supported by appropriate monitoring, PrEP can substantially reduce the risk of acquiring HIV. At Patna HIV Clinic, Dr. Pratyush Kumar provides confidential PrEP counseling based on your individual circumstances. The consultation includes a discussion of HIV risk, whether PrEP may be suitable, the required HIV and safety tests before starting, medicine adherence, possible side effects, follow-up testing and other sexual-health prevention measures. PrEP must be started only after confirming that a person does not have HIV. It does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections or pregnancy, so condoms and recommended screening may still be advised. If a possible HIV exposure occurred during the last 72 hours, seek urgent assessment for PEP instead of waiting to begin PrEP. Book a private consultation to discuss PrEP safely and without judgment.
