Counseling and Referral for PEP, PrEP and HIV Treatment


PrEP for HIV
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a once-daily medication or a bimonthly injection to prevent the transmission of HIV. When used consistently, PrEP has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection by up to 99%. Anyone who is sexually active and doesn't have HIV can use PrEP.

To find out if PrEP is right for you, talk to our staff. We will discuss the options available to cover the cost of PrEP, help you enroll into any benefits programs, and coordinate your first medical appointment with the PrEP provider.


PEP for HIV
PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a way to stop HIV infection after a possible exposure (i.e. if a condom breaks, if you have been sexually assaulted, or if you had unprotected sex and are unsure of the status of your partner). You must access PEP within 72 hours of a potential exposure.
