IDPH: Office of Health Protection

PrEP is a way for people who do not have HIV but are at substantial risk to prevent HIV infection by taking a pill (brand name Truvada) every day. When someone is exposed to HIV through sex or injection drug use, the medicine works to keep the virus from establishing a permanent infection. While most certified LHDs have STD clinics, funding is necessary to start providing PrEP services: to build infrastructure, identify potential candidates for treatment services, education for at-risk populations and establish treatment procedures for services. During year one, sites were chosen based on HIV/STI incidence, assessment for project readiness and willingness to participate; and centered on capacity building. Year three continues this goal, as well as further progress with PrEP program implementation, including increased technical assistance from IDPH, recruitment of PrEP providers and clients, and other related services.
