2.3 million people in Europe are living with an HIV diagnosis. The infection and the disease continue to have a severe impact on the well-being of those affected.

We want to focus on three things:
– TESTING
– TREATMENT
– PREVENTION
and this animation – is the second one that touches on the topic of prevention.

You may already know something about PrEP – the pill taken daily or as needed to reduce the risk of HIV infection.

But did you know that there is also PEP – post-exposure prophylaxis – which is used after possible contact with the HIV virus?

Watch our animation to learn more about it.
