Yes.
+Yes. Pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention (PrEP) is a category of antiviral drugs for the purpose of preventing HIV/AIDS. This is not directly related to HRT, but it is common for trans women to be at elevated risk of HIV/AIDs. Given the history of the AIDS pandemic, PrEP is a miracle of modern medicine that should interest you. Note: There is no effect of any PrEP drug on HRT so you are encouraged to be on PrEP.
+If you are sexually active, you should strongly consider being on PrEP. Even if you are not sexually active, trans women are at a significantly higher risk of sexual violence, so you should still strongly consider being on PrEP. In most places you are likely to be prescribed Truvada as a once-daily pill, although if you experience nausea as a side effect you can likely swap to Descovy with no change in effectiveness. In the US, insurance commonly does not cover Descovy unless you have tried or say you have tried Truvada. The novel drug lenacapavir as a twice-yearly injection is expected to make PrEP significantly easier as access becomes more widely available, if current options are prohibitive for you.
