  • Starting HIV PrEP is recommended and should be discussed further between health care provider and client. There may be a higher chance of getting HIV.
  • People who live in BC may be eligible for free (provincially-funded) HIV PrEP. Further details are available at the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS.
  • Consider other factors that may mean a person would benefit from HIV PrEP. This includes a history of syphilis, rectal gonorrhea or rectal chlamydia, and recent changes in relationship status or sexual practices.
  • Re-evaluate the HIRI score as needed. Circumstances change over time and a person's HIRI score today may not equal their HIRI score in the future.

Always consider other HIV prevention strategies such as condoms and regular HIV/STI testing. Improving knowledge about sexual health and healthy relationships is also helpful, including learning about other available resources and treatment as prevention for partners who may be HIV positive.
