&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pre-PrEP checklist: How can I get PrEP at PULSE Clinic?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you already have the prescription?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you already have a prescription for PrEP, you can show us your prescription and buy the medication.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If not, do you have health check-up results from the last 3 months?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you already have one&lt;/strong&gt;, you can get a 12-month supply at PULSE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you do not&lt;/strong&gt; have recent health check-up results, you can get tested at PULSE and receive a 12-month supply of PrEP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You can also get fewer than 12 bottles and have the rest delivered to your door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2 class=&quot;p17&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOW TO TAKE PrEP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p18&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;How to take your PrEP depends on:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;ul1&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;ul1&quot;&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li11&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;how far in advance you plan on having sex&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li11&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;how regularly you have sex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p19&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;It does not necessarily depend on how much sex you have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p20&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;p21&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daily PrEP (1 pill per day) routine.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p21&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The lead-in time for daily PrEP is 7 days. It&amp;rsquo;s suitable for both anal and vaginal or frontal sex. Daily PrEP is best taken at the same time each day, so it becomes part of your routine, but a few hours late or early is fine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p5&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;p4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On Demand PrEP or Event Based Dosing (EBD).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p21&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;This dosing option is only suitable for anal sex, not vaginal or frontal sex. If you know that you might have condomless sex 24 hours in advance:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;ul1&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;ul1&quot;&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li22&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;take 2 pills 2 &amp;ndash; 24 hours before sex&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li22&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;take 1 pill 24 hours later&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li23&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;take 1 more pill 24 hours after that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;p21&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4 pills per week&amp;mdash;also known as &amp;lsquo;the Ts and Ss&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p21&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;This dosing option is only suitable for anal sex, not vaginal or frontal sex. We recommend daily dosing for 7 days, then dropping down to 4 pills per week. 4 pills per week usually involve taking a pill on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p21&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Holiday PrEP. &lt;/strong&gt;Holiday PrEP is suitable for both anal and vaginal or frontal sex. Based on 7 days (or holiday), we recommend 7-7-7:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;ul1&quot;&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li23&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;7 days daily dosing before the period&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li22&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;7 days daily dosing during the period (or for as long as the specific period lasts)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li22&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;7 days of daily dosing after the period.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p24&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;p21&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drug of Choice for PrEP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p25&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In PULSE Clinic Kuala Lumpur, we have two choices of PrEP medications, which is Tenof-EM and Tenvir-EM. Both medications are available as tablets. Each tablet contains 200mg of Emtricitabine and 300mg of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (which is equivalent to 245mg of Tenofovir Disoproxil).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p21&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Common side effects of this medicine include nausea, diarrhoea, headache, trouble sleeping, rash, and dizziness. These are usually not serious, but inform your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. Avoid skipping doses and follow your doctor&amp;rsquo;s instructions carefully to get maximum benefit. Taking PrEP along with practicing safe sex will decrease the risk of getting the HIV virus by 99%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
