PREVENTION
PrEP AND PEP
Our agency works with clients to ensure that they receive medical insurance and quality access to PrEP or PEP to prevent HIV infection. We offer PrEP/PEP education to individuals by appointment. We also offer assistance with linking people to a healthcare provider to access PEP. Please contact us within 24 hours after exposure to ensure that there is enough time to access medication and health services. In the event that someone needs assistance immediately for PEP, they can receive PEP through their primary care physician or through the emergency services at their local hospital.
PrEP (Pre Exposure Prophylactic)
PrEP is a prescription medication that is taken daily to prevent HIV infection for people who are HIV-negative, or those who do not have the HIV virus.
PEP (Post Exposure Prophylactic)
PEP is a prescription medication that is taken within 72 hours after potential exposure for 28 days or as recommended by your physician to prevent possible HIV infection.
SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT
Contact Prevention Coordinator, Zach Ireland, to schedule your appointment to discuss PrEP or PEP.
