There are now more ways to protect yourself from HIV and STIs.
Sometimes different situations call for different strategies.

Make your own choice.

Discuss your choice with your sex partner & respect each others choices.

Check out the available prevention strategies below or do the test.

TEST WHAT WORKS FOR YOU

JUST US

You are in a monogamous relationship, so you and your boyfriend don’t have other sex-partners.

VAC CINATIONS

Get yourself vaccinated against Hepatitis A & B. These are very serious infectious viruses which are easy to prevent by vaccination.

CON DOMS

By using a condom you are always in charge of your own protection without depending on anyone else.

U =U

Undetectable = Untransmittable.
If you have HIV and are on effective treatment and achieved an undetectable viral load for 6 months it cannot be passed on.

P rEP

PrEP can give you extra protection from getting HIV. It is a pill you take daily or just before / after sex and can lower the risk of getting HIV by over 90%.

P EP

PEP is a last resort HIV prevention strategy that can be used after being exposed to the virus to reduce the risk of becoming infected.

What else can you do?

While condoms, PrEP, U=U, PEP and vaccination are key strategies to help you and your sex partners stay healthy, there are other ways you can do this.

• Frequent STI testing has been proven to reduce overall STI transmission. You can do a test at your doctor, the nearest STI clinic, or online via Testlab.

• On Mantotman.nl you can find more information regarding a healthy sex life and also do a risk check.

• At the GGD Amsterdam chemsex counseling is offered by trained peer advisors who can talk to you about your specific chemsex questions.

We hope that all these options help you to stay sexually healthy, choose the strategy that works best for you and allows you to enjoy your sex life!
