## Description

The Malaysian AIDS Council (MAC) is dedicated to reducing the spread of HIV through education, prevention, and support services. Central to their initiatives is the promotion of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), two effective strategies for preventing HIV infection. PrEP is a daily medication designed for individuals who are HIV-negative but at substantial risk of contracting the virus, primarily through unsafe sexual practices or needle use. By taking a pill known as Truvada, which contains two antiretroviral drugs, users significantly reduce their chance of infection by up to 99% when taken consistently.

On the other hand, PEP is an emergency treatment that must be initiated within 72 hours of potential HIV exposure to be effective. MAC emphasizes the importance of regular HIV testing and medical supervision for those using PrEP or PEP. Beyond these services, MAC also provides resources for counseling, testing, and access to information about living with HIV, ensuring holistic support for those affected by or at risk of the virus.
