Once on PrEP, you’ll need to routinely schedule follow-up visits, HIV tests, and prescription refills or shots. Note: PrEP doesn’t protect against other STIs, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.  \nDo you have health insurance coverage?  \nCOMMERCIAL INSURANCE (employer, private)  \nMost commercial insurance plans include PrEP coverage. To find out if your private insurance covers PrEP, call your insurance provider and ask what your out-of-pocket costs for the medication would be.  \nPUBLIC INSURANCE  \nMost public insurance options (Medicare, Medicaid) cover PrEP, including DC Healthcare Alliance.  \nLOW TO NO-COST  \nViiV (the maker of Apretude) and Gilead (the maker of Descovy and Truvada) each have two programs for individuals who  \nneed help paying for PrEP.  \n􀀜 Gilead Copay Assistance Program  \n􀀜 ViiV Copay Assistance Program  \nNO COVERAGE?  \nIf you would like to be a Whitman-Walker patient, but do not have insurance, please contact our Public Benefits and Insurance Navigation team to learn what your coverage options may be:  \nInsurance Helpline: 202.745.6151  \n􀀝 [insurancehelp@whitman-walker.org](insurancehelp@whitman-walker.org)  \n􀀛 Learn more at [www.whitman-walker.org](www.whitman-walker.org)  \n• PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV by at least 99% when taken as prescribed.  \n• Women can use PrEP without their partners’ active involvement, knowledge, or consent.  \n• PrEP may be an option to help protect pregnant people and their babies from getting HIV while trying to get pregnant, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding.
