Medications to Prevent HIV and STIs

If you’re at risk for HIV or STIs, we offer medications you can take to prevent them. These are free or low cost, and we can make it easy for you to get. Just ask us!
PrEP for HIV
Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a pill you take everyday to prevent HIV. It has few side effects and can dramatically reduce your risk for getting HIV. Find out about PrEP»
Doxy PEP for STIs
A pill (doxycycline) that you take after sex to prevent chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea. Recommended for men who have sex with men, especially if you have HIV or take PrEP. (If you see us a lot, we’ll probably bring it up.)
Doxy PEP does not protect against viruses like Mpox, HIV or herpes. There are also some side effects that you should talk to your doctor about.
nPEP for HIV
If you think you were recently exposed to HIV outside of work, this medication can prevent you from getting it.
You must take it within 72 hours of exposure. To get PEP if you can’t reach us, go to the nearest emergency room.
What to Expect at Your Visit
The way we check for STIs depends on what tests you want or need. We might need to check your urine, blood, or body (genitals, skin or mouth).
Gonorrhea may not show up on a test for 4-7 days after a possible exposure.
HIV and syphilis may not show up for 3 months, but can show up as early as 2 weeks.
