In terms of protecting oneself, what are the actual steps? (E.g. if you're HIV- but are participating in activities either directly with someone who is HIV+ or whose partner is HIV+.)

Do you schedule a doctor appointment and ask for something specific? And is there anything else to do, such as something over-the-counter?

There's a dizzying array of terms to learn in this space. PrEP is apparently different from PEP, which I think is also unrelated to what this article is talking about. It'd be nice if someone put together a 2024 guide for what the latest preventative / protection mechanisms are.
