What is PrEP?
PrEP is a pill that you can take that provides protection against HIV infection. Anyone who is HIV negative can benefit from taking PrEP. To stay protected, you have to keep taking pills regularly. If you take PrEP correctly, it is more than 99% effective at preventing HIV infections. There are different ways to take PrEP and the free Preptrack app helps you keep track of your PrEP use so you know when you’re protected.
Do I need PrEP?
Anyone who is HIV negative can use PrEP. Contact your sexual health clinic to get started.
Where can I get PrEP?
In the UK, PrEP is available from sexual health clinics and is free on the NHS for people with a significant risk of being exposed to HIV.
What is Preptrack?

Nothing. Preptrack does not collect your information. You can choose to share app use data to help us improve the app, but we have no access to information about your PrEP use or sexual activities.
