Preventive Care Prevention first

PrEP (HIV Prevention)

Confidential HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis with ongoing monitoring and support.

Confidential HIV prevention with lab monitoring and clear next steps.

Book this visit if you want to talk about HIV prevention in a private, practical setting. PrEP may be an option for people with a partner living with HIV, people with new or multiple partners, people who do not always use condoms, and people who inject drugs.

Moses Medical can discuss daily oral PrEP options and injectable PrEP options. Before starting, you will need lab work such as HIV testing, kidney function testing, and STI screening. Follow-up visits help check safety, refills, side effects, and whether the plan still fits your life.

Bring your insurance information if you have it. Many plans cover PrEP-related care, and assistance programs may be available for uninsured patients. No referral is required to start the conversation.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is PrEP and who should consider it?

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily medication that is over 99 percent effective at preventing HIV when taken as prescribed. It is recommended for anyone who is HIV-negative and at increased risk, including people with an HIV-positive partner, those who do not consistently use condoms, people who inject drugs, or anyone who has had a recent sexually transmitted infection.

Is PrEP covered by my insurance?

Yes. Under the Affordable Care Act, most insurance plans must cover PrEP with zero copay, including the medication and all required lab work and office visits. New York Medicaid and most Marketplace plans cover PrEP fully. If you are uninsured, we can help you access PrEP through patient assistance programs at no cost.

What lab work is required for PrEP?

Before starting PrEP, you will need an HIV test, kidney function test, hepatitis B screening, and STI screening. Once on PrEP, follow-up labs are required every 3 months including an HIV test and STI screening, and kidney function tests every 6 months. These visits also serve as a regular check-in with your provider.

Is PrEP confidential?

Absolutely. All PrEP-related visits, testing, and prescriptions are fully confidential and protected by HIPAA. Your provider will not share your PrEP status with anyone without your written consent. We provide a judgment-free, affirming environment for all patients.
