Freddie has been taking care of me for a couple of years. They monitor me and my health closely and make recommendations that are beneficial to my health and wellbeing. It’s been so easy to do, and it’s helped me feel a lot more safe and less anxious. They are great!!

The team is so inclusive, and easy to work with. Everything from the over the phone consult, blood work and then delivery of PrEP to my front door was easy. I have recommended so many friends to use Freddie and I would tell anyone to at least have a conversation with a clinician and see if PrEP can work for you and your lifestyle.

Better than my family doctor, they follow up every 6 months, and they also give you info how to get PrEP fully covered when you only have 70% coverage in health benefits! They also tell you every bit of info on the medication, seriously I wish every health network was like this.

Great service to get PrEP on a discount! The NPs are fabulous, and very supportive, the whole process is super easy! I've been a patient for a year now, and the system they use reminds you when you're getting close to a refill, so you don't have to worry about forgetting! They send you the form, you do your labs, and then a few days later the meds arrive in the mail.

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.

If PrEP is free for most patients, how does Freddie make money?

When you get free medication of any kind, it still costs money — your insurance provider just pays for it instead of you.
In each state, Freddie and our community-based partners both make money when your private insurance pays for your PrEP at one of our partner pharmacies.
Freddie uses this money to pay for all of our services, and our local community partners make money so they can serve even more people.

Because Freddie is virtual, it’s also discreet. You take your appointments at home and your PrEP can be delivered to your door. You only need to go to a lab for your tests.

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.
