For your patients at high risk for getting HIV , PrEP ( pre-exposure prophylaxis ) is now available as an injection or oral medication and can stop HIV from taking hold and spreading throughout the body . Additionally , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) recommends all patients between the ages of 13 and 64 years get tested for HIV at least once as part of routine health care . Integrating routine screening into your practice helps stop transmission of the disease and promotes better health outcomes for all your patients . Join the fight to stop HIV !
