Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a daily pill that helps prevent at-risk individuals from getting HIV. PrEP is over 92% effective.

Is PrEP Right for Me?

You should consider PrEP if you:

  • Are a gay or bisexual man
  • Are a transgender woman who has sex with men
  • Are in a relationship with an HIV-positive partner
  • Engage in sexual activity in a high-prevalence area or network
  • Have condomless sex and do not know the HIV status of your partners
  • Have recently been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI)
  • Use injection drugs

Do I need a Prescription for PrEP?

PrEP involves seeing your provider once every three months to get a new prescription and complete blood work.

How Much Will PrEP Cost?

PrEP is covered by all insurance companies, and for those without insurance we offer free testing, STI treatment, and help with medication coverage.
