Injectable PrEP HIV Prevention at Care Resource
Care Resource offers a new long-acting injectable PrEP medication—a major step forward in HIV prevention for people who want protection without the need for a daily pill.
This new option is especially helpful for those who have struggled with medication routines or want a more discreet, low-maintenance way to stay protected.
Making Protection Simpler and More Accessible
Injectable PrEP is administered every six months and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It’s designed to make HIV prevention easier and more consistent, especially for people who find it difficult to take a pill every day.
The simplification of doses to every six months is useful for individuals where adherence to daily medication has been a major challenge. It also offers an exciting way forward to a simpler and further effective HIV prevention method. – Dr. Sheryl Zayas, Medical Director at Care Resource
Why This Matters
HIV remains a serious public health concern. According to the CDC’s 2024 Global Health Report, more than 1.3 million people became newly infected with HIV in 2022. In South Florida, the rates of new infections remain among the highest in the country.
One of the biggest challenges in HIV prevention is medication adherence, the ability to take medicine exactly as prescribed. Daily oral PrEP is highly effective, but missing doses can reduce its protection.
Long-acting injectable PrEP helps solve this problem by reducing the number of doses needed each year, making it easier for more people to stay protected.
