Explore the pages below to find out more about the different HIV prevention tools in Aotearoa.
Condoms and lube are the most effective way to protect yourself from HIV and other STIs during anal or vaginal sex.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP refers to the use of HIV medication by people who are HIV-negative in order to reduce their risk of HIV infection.
People living with HIV who are on antiretroviral treatment and maintain an undetectable viral load for at least six months do not sexually transmit HIV.
If you are HIV negative and you know or even think you may have been exposed to HIV during sex, for example, a condom broke or you didn’t use one, you should visit the emergency department of your local hospital as soon as possible.
Testing is one of the most important things you can do to help end HIV transmissions in New Zealand.
Use this section to find out about STIs and their symptoms so you can recognise them early and get tested at one of our centres.
