What is PrEP?

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a preventive medication that significantly reduces your risk of contracting HIV. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective and safe. The FDA has approved several forms of PrEP, including two oral medications, Truvada® and Descovy®, and one injectable, Apretude®, catering to various needs and preferences.

Is PrEP Right for Me?

You may be a candidate for PrEP if you are at increased risk for HIV, such as:

Engaging in sexual activity with an HIV-positive partner

Not consistently using condomsHaving a history of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)

Sharing needles or syringes for drug use

Our specialists will conduct a thorough consultation, including HIV testing, to determine if PrEP is suitable for you.

Our PrEP Services:

I) Consultation and Testing:

Your journey starts with a comprehensive consultation to review your medical and sexual history and assess your risk factors. We'll perform necessary lab work, including HIV testing, to ensure PrEP is safe for you to take.

II) Personalized PrEP Plans:

Based on your lifestyle and risk factors, we'll recommend the most appropriate form of PrEP for you, whether it's a daily pill or a long-acting injection. Our specialists will guide you on how to take your medication effectively to ensure maximum protection against HIV.

III) Ongoing Support and Monitoring:

Taking PrEP requires commitment. We provide regular follow-up appointments to monitor your health, test for HIV, and refill your prescription. We also offer low-to-no-cost PrEP prescriptions to ensure that cost is not a barrier to your protection.

IV) Holistic Health Education:

While PrEP is highly effective at preventing HIV, it does not protect against other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Our team will discuss safe sex practices and overall health strategies to protect your well-being.
