Do you do lab collection for PrEP labs on-site during my visit?
You will be able to complete all of the required lab work for PrEP on-site during your clinic visit at the same time. We provide full-service PrEP care and you will not need to go find another lab. Get lab work done in a comfortable inclusive space with us!
Do you offer swab testing?

Can I pick up my medication during my testing visit?

If I’m getting PrEP online with you can I still come for in-person services too?
Absolutely! Get the best of both worlds. Online for convenience and in-person when you need us.
How often should I get tested while on PrEP?
Once on PrEP, you should be tested every 3 months for HIV. We can also test you for other STIs at this time.
Can I come into The PrEP Clinic if I have a sexual health concern and not just for routine PrEP labs?
Yes! We’re here for our PrEP patients to support your entire sexual health. You are welcome to come in for testing in between or if you have a sexual health concern.
What sexual health vaccines do you provide?
Patients in our PrEP roster can benefit from free Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and HPV vaccines. With no age restrictions for adults.
Do you have injection treatments needed for syphilis and gonorrhea?

PrEP With Us
Most pay $0 With PrEPSaver
* The Injectable PrEP option is not part of our PrEPSaver Program.
Not sure if PrEP
is right for you?
Health is very personal and we feel it’s important to provide information to help you make a well-informed decision about PrEP. If you will ever have a possible exposure to HIV it is something to consider – especially if not always 100% sure of a sexual partner’s status.
