What Is PrEP?
How does it work?
PrEP is a combination of two drugs that fight against HIV known as “antiretrovirals”. They work by preventing HIV from being able to take hold in the body. The medications in PrEP are actually sometimes used as part of HIV treatment regimens as well (but can’t be used alone in treatment, only for prevention).
PrEP medication is typically taken as one tablet every day. However, if you are cis man or trans woman it may be prescribed On-Demand and taken just around the time of sexual activity. Individuals on daily PrEP will have maximum protection from vaginal or frontal sex at 21 days and anal sex at 7 days. The medication needs to be continued once daily as consistency determines the level of effectiveness. Read more on PrEP…

Frequently Asked Questions
Are PrEP appointments free? What about lab work?
The PrEP Clinic does not charge for in-person services including PrEP assessments and lab work. This includes for people without a health card. We do not charge any fees for any PrEP labwork. Our pharmacy proudly gives back and fully sponsors this service.
Do I have to book far in advance to come in?
There is no booking for walk-in services at The PrEP Clinic so you can come on the days/times it is offered in Toronto. For our by-appointment spots in Toronto we usually can get you in within a day or two, sometimes same day. Brampton and Ottawa locations run once a week and spots can fill up a bit quicker.
What is it like coming into your clinics?
Our in-person services are in safe and discreet spaces that are warm and inviting. You can trust our team to be efficient and highly knowledgeable on PrEP and sexual health. Since opening in 2019 we have helped with the care of thousands of Ontarians in-person.
Do you have injection treatments needed for syphilis and gonorrhea?
We do! No more running around to find a clinic that offers these treatment options. You can also avoid less effective pill options with us.
Are PrEP appointments anonymous?
You are welcome to use whatever name you would like to provide during your PrEP appointment.
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.
More information on this and eligibility is available here: https://www.prepclinic.ca/all-about-prep/prep-and-vaccinations/
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!
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.
Do you offer swab testing?
Our lab testing includes throat and rectal swabs for gonorrhea and chlamydia screening. (We also offer this for our online patients too!)
Can I pick up my medication during my testing visit?
Yes! If coming in for repeat testing you can pick-up your medication refill at the same time at our Toronto and Brampton locations. It’s super convenient and easy.
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. Our patients are welcome to come in for earlier testing and assessments in between their PrEP labwork too!
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.
