Got PrEP questions?

Our team has the answers

What is PrEP?

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a medication strategy for helping to prevent HIV.
Most people take PrEP as one pill once a day. When taken as prescribed, it can effectively reduce the risk of getting HIV through sex.
There are a few different types of PrEP, which mostly vary in cost and in their side effect profiles.

What are the possible side effects of PrEP?

A small number of people may have some nausea or upset stomach when they start PrEP, but this usually clears up in a few weeks.
In the longer term, some types of PrEP have a low risk of reducing your kidney function or bone density. This is usually reversed by stopping PrEP or switching to a different form of PrEP.
There are a few different types of PrEP, which mostly vary in cost and in their side effect profiles.

Can women and trans people take PrEP?

PrEP isn’t just for cisgender men. Anyone of any gender can take PrEP to help prevent HIV.
If your sex partners were born with a penis and any of their other partners were born with a penis, then you could be a good fit for PrEP.
You might also benefit if you inject drugs or belong to a community with high HIV rates.

I’ve heard PrEP medications are expensive. What will I pay for PrEP?

PrEP can be expensive — but over 90% of Freddie patients pay $0 for PrEP.
Most people have coverage through their private health insurance plan. If you have an amount to pay after this is applied, our financial assistance program will usually cover the rest. For the small number of people who aren’t completely covered, the amount they pay is reduced. No matter your situation, we’ll work with you to find the best way to get you protected against HIV.

I’ve heard PrEP medications are expensive. What will I pay for PrEP?

PrEP can be expensive — but over 90% of Freddie patients pay $0 for PrEP.
Most people have coverage through the public system or their private health insurance plan. If you have an amount to pay after this is applied, our financial assistance program may be able to help you cover the rest. For the small number of people who aren’t completely covered, the amount you pay is reduced.

I already get PrEP from somewhere else. Can I still use Freddie?

Yes! If you’re already on PrEP, you can switch to Freddie for an even easier way to get it.
When taking our free online questionnaire, be sure to mention that you’re already taking PrEP.

Does Freddie offer DoxyPEP?

DoxyPEP is short for doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis. It’s where you take an antibiotic after condomless sex to help prevent bacterial STIs. It doesn’t eliminate your risk, but it can help lower it.
Freddie only offers DoxyPEP to PrEP or HIV+ Care patients to ensure quality care. If you’re a good fit for one, you’re probably a good fit for the other. And we can monitor your health more effectively if both your medications are coming from one place.
DoxyPEP does not help prevent HIV and is NOT a replacement for PrEP.
