Freddie provides care virtually, so we want to make sure our care model is the right fit for you as a patient. Because of this, there are a few things that indicate in-person care is more suitable for you. While we strive to serve as many patients as possible, virtual care may not be a good fit for you if:

• You are under 18 years of age

• Your CD4 count is less than 200 and not currently on HIV treatment

• You are or have a chance of being pregnant

Online appointments and prescription delivery are free with Freddie and our partner pharmacies, who will deliver to your home.

If you’re prescribed medication, the final cost paid — if any — is determined primarily by your insurance coverage. Most Freddie patients with commercial insurance pay $0 out of pocket.

As part of Freddie HIV Care, you’ll need to complete some tests at a lab near you. Lab services are often available for $0, but this is dependent on your coverage and location.

We will always work to find options with the lowest cost to you.

Our expert clinicians tailor a treatment plan to your individual needs. In addition to determining the right medication, HIV+ Care includes regular check-ins, ongoing lab testing, and counseling and support for questions or concerns along the way to make your care easy, accessible, and judgement-free.

Our program focuses on expert HIV care, including treatments that support your overall health while living with HIV.

As part of your care, we commonly provide STI testing and treatment, DoxyPEP when appropriate to help prevent certain bacterial STIs, recommended vaccinations, preventive medications when needed, and heart health screening such as cholesterol checks and statin therapy when appropriate. These are standard parts of HIV care that help protect long-term health.

If you’re at risk of running out of important prescriptions while connecting with a primary care provider, we may offer short-term renewals when it’s safe to do so.

We can diagnose and treat hepatitis C when appropriate, or coordinate referral if specialist care is needed. For hepatitis B, we work alongside specialists while continuing to manage your HIV care.

If you’re unsure whether something falls within our scope, the best next step is simply to book a visit and ask your clinician. We’re happy to talk through your needs and guide you to the right care.
