Individuals who have already tested positive for HIV should never take PrEP as a standalone preventative regimen, because using it alone can cause the virus to develop resistance to the medications, complicating future treatment. Additionally, people with pre-existing severe kidney disease or impaired renal function may need alternative dosing evaluations or different medical strategies, as PrEP medications are processed through the kidneys. Anyone with known allergies to the specific drug components, or those unwilling or unable to commit to regular quarterly lab testing and follow-up care, should consult a doctor before starting.
