Here are a few important resources everyone should know about:

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) this is medication that significantly reduces your risk of contracting HIV before exposure. If you believe PrEP may be right for you, speak with your primary care physician or contact The HIV/AIDS Centre at the Ministry of Health & Wellness.


· Telephone: (242) 604-9060 or (242) 604-9113


PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) this is emergency medication that must be started within 72 hours after a possible exposure to HIV. Time is critical, so seek medical attention immediately through your physician or The HIV/AIDS Centre.

If you would like an HIV self-test kit, confidential support, or someone to talk with, The Bahamas AIDS Foundation Resource Centre is here to help.
