Is PrEP a vaccine?
PrEP 是一种疫苗吗？
No, PrEP is not a vaccine. A vaccine provides immunity against an illness for a long period of time with no daily upkeep. PrEP is a daily pill that, when taken as prescribed, greatly reduces your risk of getting HIV. PrEP does not provide immunity against HIV; as soon as you stop taking PrEP, you lose protection against the HIV virus. PrEP must be taken every day for optimal protection against HIV.
不，PrEP 不是疫苗。疫苗可长期提供对疾病的免疫力，无需日常维护。
PrEP 是一种每天服用的药片，按医嘱服用可大大降低您感染 HIV 的风险。PrEP 并不提供对 HIV 的免疫力；一旦停止服用 PrEP，就会失去对 HIV 病毒的保护。PrEP 必须每天服用，才能达到抵御 HIV 的最佳效果。
