PrEP

“PrEP” stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. The word “prophylaxis” means “to prevent or control the spread of an infection or disease.” PrEP is a way for people who don’t have HIV to prevent HIV infection by taking a pill every day. The pill contains two medicines that are also used to treat HIV. If you take PrEP and are exposed to HIV through sex or injection drug use, these medicines can work to keep the virus from taking hold in your body.

Along with other prevention methods like condoms, PrEP can offer good protection against HIV if taken every day.

People who use PrEP must be able to take the drug every day and to return to their health care provider every 3 months for a repeat HIV test, prescription refills, and follow-up.

The pill approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for daily use as PrEP for people at very high risk of getting HIV infection is called Truvada®. Truvada® is a combination of two HIV medications (tenofovir and emtricitabine). These medicines work by blocking important pathways that HIV uses to set up an infection. If you take PrEP daily, the presence of the medicine in your bloodstream can often stop HIV from taking hold and spreading in your body. If you do not take PrEP every day, there may not be enough medicine in your bloodstream to block the virus. PrEP can only be prescribed by a health care provider and must be taken as directed to work.

The Woodlands Preparatory School

A small private school in The Woodlands, Texas.

Technically an international school, hard classes and really young teachers.

Only the most bad ass and smart of the private schoolers go there.
There are always Porches and maseratis and lamborghinis running you over in the parking lot.

The Woodlands Prep basketball team has the most skilled and attractive basketball players also.

Oh, she goes to The Woodlands Preparatory School? She must be really smart and awesome.

georgetown prep

Probobly the Gayest School of all time. Although I go here, I hate it b/c it is so faglike. We try to compete with the other IAC schools like Bullis and Landon but we can't. We even got ourselves kicked out of the IAC in football this year. I'm embarrassed to go here. We think that we're so cool, but really we are just a bunch of stoners who can't get with a HOT girl to save our lives. Ok, maybe we will get with a hot girl here and there but we'll never touch the hotness of the Bullis '08 girls.

Boy: Hi
Girl: Hi
Boy: I Go to georgetown prep.
Girl: Get the Fuck away!

Prep

A mistake is that a prep is someone who shops at American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister and is involved in school sports and activites. A prep actuallyattends a prepatory school usually on the east coast comes from an old rich family and dresses in labels like Ralph Lauren, Juice, Dior, Lacoste etc. A prep wears sweater vests, plays tennis, is a country club member and is destined for a top Ivy League school. Preps are nice. They are smart and not dumb. They aren't sluts or ditzes and they DON'T care about emos or goths or geeks and they DONT talk bunk about them!

Prep #1- Hey what's up? Would you like to play tennis with me?
Prep #2- Yes, of course! I love your Dior sunglasses... J'adore Dior!
Non Prep- You guys are fags1
Prep #1- Leave us alone, please.

Hallo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

A greeting used to proclaim one's intention to kill based on past murders. More specifically, if you happen to be in the movie The Princess Bride.

Person 1: Hallo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Person 2: Dude, wtf?!
Person 1: Princess Bride moment.
Person 2: Oh got it! AAAAAAAH (*runs away screaming)

Georgetown Prep

"A college prepatory school that appears to have the reputational edge among its primary competitors. Research shows that this is because of the combination of academics, ethics, athletics, and spiritual platform that the school emphasizes. It also has a level of panache that its competitors (Landon, St. Albans, Gonzaga) strive to obtain. Each of these schools is excellent in their own right. However, GP has a reputation for having a bit more of the edge, perhaps due to the intersection of each of these previously mentioned attributes, that sets it somewhat above these other school reputationally. As a result, it invites editorial detraction and attacks normally reserved for a team ranked in the top spot."

Parent 1: I hear that Landon is one of the top schools in the area?
Parent 2: Yes, but if you are really shooting for the top, Georgetown Prep is the pinnacle.
