PREP & TELE-PREP AT THE DOCTOR
The Doctor’s TelePrEP program provides a convenient new way to access Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), an option for maintaining HIV negative status. Currently, the only FDA approved medication for PrEP is Truvada. Truvada is highly effective at preventing HIV, reducing the risk of infection by 92–99% for those who take it daily as prescribed.
Our TelePrEP program allows you to virtually connect to a qualified provider who can prescribe you PrEP through telemedicine. This means you can use your personal electronic devices to have provider “visits” without having to leave your home.
You’ll be able to see, hear, and speak to a provider face to face to discuss your PrEP medical care.
