You can get PrEP in New Orleans. According to We PrEP Together: "Did you know that 1 in 8 Americans with HIV are unaware they are infected? In Louisiana, it’s 1 in 5. PrEP allows those who are at high risk of contracting HIV to take control of their sexual health. Taking PrEP once a day can decrease the risk of contracting HIV by up to 92%! If you are HIV-negative – and we all want to keep it that way – PrEP may be right for you!" Check out this [http://www.wepreptogether.com/ map] to see all the locations, which include: | |||
