PrEP (HIV Prevention)

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

PrEP visits are private conversations about HIV prevention, testing, medication options, and follow-up care.

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. 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.

Checking in with someone you trust

Keep testing and refills on schedule.

Confirm when your next HIV, STI, and kidney tests are due, how to request refills, and when to return.
