Hello SHC Blog
Travis Walker, DNP, FNP-BC, AAHIVS
At Simple Healthcare (SHC) in Hauppauge, NY, we understand the importance of PrEP Awareness Week. This annual initiative reminds everyone that HIV prevention is power, and staying informed about your options can save lives. Whether you’re interested in oral PrEP pills or the injectable PrEP shot, SHC is your trusted PrEP clinic on Long Island, serving patients across Suffolk and Nassau Counties.
What is PrEP and Why Awareness Matters
PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a safe and effective way to prevent HIV. During PrEP Awareness Week, we emphasize education and access, helping people understand the difference between oral PrEP and injectable PrEP and choose the option that fits their lifestyle.
- Oral PrEP: Daily pills like Truvada or Descovy protect against HIV and are perfect for those who prefer taking a small pill each day.
- Injectable PrEP: Long-acting injections such as Apretude every 2 months / Yeztugo every 6 months providing convenience, discretion, and consistent protection.
