What is PrEP? 

  • PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a daily pill that can greatly reduce your risk of getting HIV from sex               by more than 90%.
  •  It reduces the risk of getting HIV from sharing needles by more than 70%.
  •  Lower your risk of getting HIV from sex even more if you take PrEP and use other prevention methods.
  • You have to visit your doctor every three months to repeat your HIV test, refill your prescription, and follow up.
  • Don't take PrEP unless it has been prescribed for you by your doctor.
 
 
 

If you have insurance, visit PrEP Locator or ​visit UNC Chapel Hill to find a list of doctors near you.

If you need assistance paying for PrEP, Gilead’s Patient Assistance Program is available to support. 

​If you don't have insurance, contact one of the healthcare providers below for free medication.
