Gay, bisexual men and men who have sex with men

PrEP is for everyone who may be at risk of HIV. This includes gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men living in Scotland.

Is HIV PrEP for me?

You should always feel in control of the sex you have and the method you choose to look after your sexual health. You should never feel pressured into not using condoms if that's your preference.

HIV PrEP only protects you from the sexual transmission of HIV. PrEP does not protect you from other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you use HIV PrEP without condoms and lubricant you're at risk of other STIs. For example syphilis, gonorrhoea and chlamydia.

  • what will happen at your first appointment
  • who should not take PrEP
  • how dosing works
  • possible side effects
