“The client should be encouraged to use effective contraception unless pregnancy is
desired. PrEP medicines can be taken safely with all contraception methods. If a client wants
to become pregnant, ways to become pregnant safely should be considered. PrEP can be
used in pregnancy and during breastfeeding if HIV risk continues to be substantial during
this time (49).”
