  1. You don’t ALWAYS use condoms.

  2. You have recently had an STI.

  3. You have sexual partner(s) who don’t know their HIV status.

  4. You have sex in an area where HIV is more common.

  5. You use non-prescribed intravenous drugs.

Will my insurance cover PrEP?

Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance providers are required to cover the cost of PrEP without sharing the cost with the patient. While this is typically the case, some people have reported issues with their insurance company not abiding by this law. Please check with your individual insurance provider to understand which PrEP medications they will or will not cover.

If you have had a possible exposure, you need to get on PEP or Doxy PEP within 72 hours to prevent HIV or STIs.

PEP, or post-exposure prophylaxis, is used to stop the transmission of HIV. It is taken orally for four weeks as a multi-drug antiviral regimen and must be started within 72 hours after possible exposure.

Doxy PEP is used to stop the spread of STIs after possible exposure. It is taken as a one-time dose of the antibiotic doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis and must be started within 72 hours.
