What is HIV PrEP?
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily HIV prevention medicine taken by HIV-negative individuals before potential exposure to the virus. When taken consistently, PrEP reduces the risk of acquiring HIV through sexual contact by more than 99% and by 74% for injection drug users.
Unlike antiretroviral treatment (ART) which treats existing HIV infection, PrEP is purely preventive — it keeps HIV from establishing a permanent infection in the body. PrEP is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health, India, for individuals at substantial risk of HIV exposure. HIV PrEP Treatment in Pune is available at Dr. Monga's clinic in Lajpat Nagar, serving patients from Greater Kailash, Saket, Vasant Kunj, Hauz Khas, Malviya Nagar, Defence Colony, East of Kailash, Kalkaji, Nehru Place, and across Pune.
Two Types of PrEP Available
Truvada (TDF/FTC)
Approved for all high-risk individuals — heterosexual men and women, MSM, transgender persons, and injection drug users. Available as branded or affordable generic equivalents.
Descovy (TAF/FTC)
Approved for men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women. Not recommended for women at risk through receptive vaginal sex or injection drug use.
Do You Know?
- What does PrEP do? — Reduces your risk of acquiring HIV through sex by over 99% when taken as prescribed.
- How quickly does PrEP work? — 7 daily doses protect men from receptive anal sex. 21 days needed for vaginal sex & injection use.
- Can anyone take PrEP? — Only HIV-negative individuals at substantial risk. An HIV test is mandatory before starting.
- Is PrEP safe? — Yes — generally safe and well-tolerated. Most people experience minimal or no side effects.
- What after starting PrEP? — See your doctor after 1 month, then every 3 months for HIV & STI testing and kidney monitoring.

Effective when taken daily
Who Should Consider HIV PrEP in Pune?
PrEP is medically recommended for HIV-negative individuals who face a higher risk of HIV exposure. If you identify with any of the following, speak to our Pune HIV specialist today.
HIV-Positive Partner
If your partner is HIV-positive, PrEP provides critical daily protection against transmission.
Multiple Sexual Partners
Having multiple or anonymous partners significantly raises HIV exposure risk.
Inconsistent Condom Use
Condoms reduce but don't eliminate risk. PrEP adds a powerful second layer of protection.
MSM Community
Men who have sex with men face a higher statistical HIV risk and are strong PrEP candidates.
Transgender Individuals
Transgender persons at higher risk of HIV exposure benefit significantly from daily PrEP.
Commercial Sex Workers
PrEP provides sustained HIV protection for individuals engaged in sex work.
Recurrent STD History
Diagnosed with an STI in the past 6 months? That indicates elevated HIV exposure risk.
Healthcare Workers
Professionals with needle-stick or fluid exposure risk qualify for preventive PrEP medication.
IV Drug Users
PrEP reduces HIV risk by 74% for those sharing needles or injection equipment.
Protect Yourself Before HIV Exposure Occurs
PrEP works best when started before exposure. Don't wait for a scare or an incident. PrEP reduces HIV risk by more than 99% when taken consistently under medical supervision by patients across Pune, Lajpat Nagar, Greater Kailash, Saket, Vasant Kunj, and NCR.
How Effective is HIV PrEP?
Protection Through Sexual Exposure
When taken every day as prescribed — the gold standard for HIV prevention.
Protection for Injection Drug Users
Consistent daily use is critical. PrEP failure occurs only when doses are missed.
Window period for MSM (anal sex)
For heterosexual sex & injection drug use
Clinical evidence from global trials (iPrEx, Partners PrEP) confirms PrEP's remarkable effectiveness. The key is consistency — missing doses reduces protective drug levels and can allow HIV to establish an infection. Under Dr. Monga's supervision in Pune, patients receive adherence support, regular reminders, and 3-monthly monitoring to ensure maximum protection.
PrEP vs PEP — Understanding the Difference
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis
Both PrEP, PEP, and ART medicines are available at Dr. Monga's HIV clinic in Lajpat Nagar, Pune, and at our Dwarka and Gurgaon locations. If you need emergency PEP, call 8010977000 immediately — same-day appointments available.

PrEP Drug Cost in Pune
Transparent, affordable HIV prevention care
Specialist Consultation
HIV Risk Assessment by Dr. Monga
- All PrEP, PEP & ART medicines available
- Generic PrEP options — affordable pricing
- Home sample collection across Pune
- Discreet pan-India medicine delivery

- 3-monthly follow-up & lab monitoring
The cost of PrEP medication in India has dropped significantly with high-quality generic equivalents. Generic TDF/FTC (equivalent to Truvada) and TAF/FTC (equivalent to Descovy) are available at significantly lower cost. Patients receive automated reminders and home sample collection support for each monitoring visit. The overall cost of PrEP is a small price to pay for near-absolute HIV protection.
Side Effects & Long-Term Safety of PrEP
PrEP is one of the safest preventive medications available
Most people experience no significant side effects. When side effects do occur, they are usually mild and resolve within 2-4 weeks as the body adjusts.
Common (Mild) Side Effects:
- Nausea
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Stomach pain
- Diarrhoea
- Dizziness
Long-Term Monitoring Required:
- Kidney function (creatinine) every 3 months
- Bone density monitoring (long-term use)
- HIV & STI screening every 3 months
- eGFR monitoring for kidney safety
In large-scale global trials, PrEP (Truvada and Descovy) has been confirmed safe for long-term daily use. PrEP has been used globally for over a decade with an excellent safety record. When taken under proper medical supervision with regular monitoring, PrEP is entirely safe for long-term use.
HIV Testing Before Starting PrEP
An HIV test is mandatory before starting PrEP. You must be HIV-negative to begin the medication. Starting PrEP in someone who is already HIV-positive can lead to drug resistance. If you test HIV positive, Dr. Monga will guide you toward appropriate ART (Antiretroviral Therapy) treatment.
- Rapid HIV & 4th generation antigen/antibody tests available
- Home sample collection across Pune
- Regular monitoring every 3 months while on PrEP
- Kidney function, creatinine, and STD panel every 3 months
- Confidential results with doctor counselling
On-Demand / Event-Driven PrEP
For gay and bisexual men who don't have daily sex, on-demand (event-driven) PrEP — also known as 2-1-1 dosing — may be an option. Clinical studies confirm this is highly effective specifically for MSM involved in anal sex. On-demand PrEP is not recommended for heterosexual individuals or injection drug users.
2-1-1 Dosing Protocol:
- 2-24 hrs before act: Take 2 pills
- 24 hrs after 1st dose: Take 1 pill
- 24 hrs after 2nd dose: Take 1 pill
Consult Dr. Monga to determine if on-demand PrEP is the right approach for you.

HIV Prevention for Couples
Serodiscordant couples (one HIV-positive, one HIV-negative) can have safe, fulfilling relationships with proper medical support. PrEP for the negative partner, combined with ART for the positive partner, reduces transmission risk to near zero. We provide HIV marriage counselling, family planning guidance, and long-term HIV prevention plans for couples across Pune and NCR. For couples planning pregnancy, our specialists provide safe conception guidance to ensure the HIV-negative partner remains protected throughout the process.
PrEP for MSM Community in Pune
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are among the highest-priority candidates for PrEP globally. Our Pune HIV clinic provides completely confidential, LGBTQ+ friendly consultations in a judgment-free environment. Receptive anal sex carries the highest HIV transmission risk. With consistent daily PrEP, MSM can reduce their risk by over 99%. On-demand (2-1-1) PrEP is also available for MSM who do not have daily sex. Same-day appointments available at Lajpat Nagar, Pune.
PrEP for High-Risk Individuals
Beyond MSM and couples, PrEP is critical for commercial sex workers, injection drug users, transgender individuals, and healthcare workers facing needle-stick risk. Our clinic in Lajpat Nagar, Pune, offers rapid same-day consultations and confidential PrEP prescriptions for all high-risk groups. Pan-India medicine delivery available for patients who cannot visit the clinic in person. All consultations are 100% confidential.
Multi-Layered HIV Prevention
PrEP is highly effective, but it is just one part of a comprehensive strategy. Combining PrEP with consistent condom use, regular HIV and STD testing, limiting partners, not sharing needles, and open communication with partners provides the strongest possible protection against HIV.
"Abstinence or maintaining a long-term monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner remains the safest approach to prevent HIV. For everyone else, PrEP combined with condoms and regular testing provides near-complete protection." — Dr. Yuvraj Arora Monga
