An Update Regarding Seasonal Illnesses

To help prevent the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses, we strongly encourage all visitors to wear a mask while in ambulatory clinics or inpatient units. Surgical masks are available at hospital and clinic entrances. Patients with respiratory illnesses should also wear masks. Thank you for helping protect our patients, staff, and community.

  • Are a transgender woman who has sex with men
  • Are a person who uses injection drugs
  • Engage in sexual activity in a high-prevalence area or network
  • Don’t know the HIV status of your partners

How effective is PrEP?

PrEP is over 92% effective.

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.
