Connecting People to PrEP

Take an Important First Step to Reduce Your Worry About HIV

With EAC's PrEPared for Life comprehensive prevention program, you've got options! PrEP is a medication taken daily to prevent HIV. Condoms help prevent other STIs. Get tested for HIV/STIs with us or at home in complete privacy. Learn more below.

What is PrEP?

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a way to take control of your sexual health.

It helps people who are HIV negative (not living with HIV) reduce their worry about getting HIV. When a person takes PrEP as directed, it is 99% effective at preventing HIV.    


PrEP is a powerful tool in helping to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, not everyone knows about PrEP or how to obtain it. Through our PrEPared for Life Program, we can help you find options for enrolling in PrEP services in Arkansas. 

"...it's called PrEP because you take it pre-sex, or before sex."

Who uses PrEP?

PrEP is for anyone...straight, gay, or bisexual. PrEP is for male, female, transgender, or gender no

Everyone’s situation is different, and everyone should consider whether PrEP is right for them. 


PrEP is recommended for:  

  • People in a relationship with an HIV-positive partner.
  • People who don’t regularly use condoms when having sex.
  • People recently diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
  • Anyone who has shared equipment when injecting drugs.

PrEP & Testing

HIV testing is done before starting PrEP because PrEP is only for people without HIV. PrEP also involves HIV/STI testing every 3 months and seeing a medical provider.

PrEP & Condoms

 PrEP does not protect you from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like syphilis, gonorrhea or chlamydia. Using condoms with PrEP gives you protection from both HIV and most STIs.

Top 5 Reasons PrEP May Be For You

Here are five reasons why PrEP may be right for you:

1. Because keeping yourself free of HIV is important.

PrEP is a powerful HIV prevention option. Studies have shown PrEP is safe and no serious side effects have been reported.

2. Because ending HIV starts with YOU.

You can help bring the rate of new HIV transmissions down and end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Arkansas.

3. Because you have enough on your mind, and one pill a day is easy to remember.

If you want to experience pleasure and connections without the concern of HIV, PrEP could be right for you.

4. Because it's safe, easy, effective, and available.

PrEP is 99% effective in preventing HIV transmission when taken daily as prescribed.  Most health insurance plans cover PrEP, including Medicaid.

5. Because you are intimate with someone living with HIV or might be one day.

Mixed-status couples are using PrEP with great success! HIV doesn't have to stand between you and someone else.
