Here we provide information about services aimed at queer people, especially gay or bisexual men and trans* people.
Condoms are still the most common tool for safe sex. You can find more information here.
HIV-positive people on effective HIV therapy have so few viral copies in their bodies that the viral load can no longer be detected and transmission is therefore virtually impossible. You can find more information about this here.
PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is a way for HIV-negative people to prevent HIV infection with a high probability by taking HIV therapy for four weeks directly after the risk situation (within 48 hours). You can find more information here.
PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a way for HIV-negative people to reduce the risk of HIV infection by taking special HIV medication before they become at risk. However, PrEP is not suitable for every person and only works under certain conditions.
You can find more information here.
You can also find more information and many answers to your questions in our FAQs and at Queer HIV Info.
