&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FAQs About Injectable PrEP (Apretude)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How long does injectable PrEP stay in the body?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;After receiving an Apretude injection, the medication remains active in your system for several weeks. For continuous HIV protection, repeat doses are required &lt;strong&gt;every 2 months&lt;/strong&gt;. This long-acting formula ensures consistent coverage without the need for daily pills, offering a more convenient prevention option.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does injectable PrEP hurt?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Most people experience &lt;strong&gt;mild discomfort, redness, or swelling&lt;/strong&gt; at the injection site &amp;mdash; typically in the buttock area. These effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days. Your healthcare provider can offer tips to ease any post-injection soreness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What if I miss an injection appointment?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you miss your scheduled injection, &lt;strong&gt;contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If it&amp;rsquo;s within &lt;strong&gt;7 days&lt;/strong&gt; of your planned date, you can usually continue with your next dose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If it&amp;rsquo;s been &lt;strong&gt;more than 7 days&lt;/strong&gt;, your doctor may advise restarting the dosing schedule or using additional HIV prevention methods until protection resumes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do I still need condoms while on injectable PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Yes. While Apretude provides &lt;strong&gt;highly effective protection against HIV&lt;/strong&gt;, it &lt;strong&gt;does not protect&lt;/strong&gt; against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia, or syphilis. Using condoms alongside PrEP helps ensure &lt;strong&gt;comprehensive sexual health protection&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can people with chronic health conditions use injectable PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In most cases, yes &amp;mdash; but a &lt;strong&gt;medical assessment is necessary&lt;/strong&gt;. People with conditions affecting the kidneys or liver, or those taking multiple medications, should consult their healthcare provider before starting injectable PrEP. Your doctor will evaluate whether Apretude is the most suitable and safe option for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
