The journey begins with an open discussion of sex practices and any drug use, followed by provider-guided steps including STI, viral hepatitis, and kidney health testing. Providers prescribe PrEP medication, arrange safe access through local pharmacies, and schedule follow-ups about every 3 months to retest for HIV and manage other STIs. Guidance also covers adherence support, condom use, stopping support, eligibility for PrEP, and options for help paying for care and medications.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":35,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/your-journey-to-hiv-prep-get-ready-get-set-get-prep/401056/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/your-journey-to-hiv-prep-get-ready-get-set-get-prep/401056.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"SundayMiles","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-02","2026-09-27",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What happens during the initial visit to start PrEP?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The provider discusses sex practices and drug use, then tests for other STIs (including syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia), and runs additional tests for viral hepatitis and kidney health.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How often are follow-up visits while taking PrEP?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Follow-ups are scheduled about every 3 months.

Be sure all the body parts you use for sex are screened.  \nRun other tests for viral hepatitis and kidney health.  \nGET SET  \nFind out if PrEP is right for you.  \n1  \n2  \nYour provider will give you a prescription for PrEP medication and information on how to take it.  \nGET PrEP  \n3  \nTake your prescription to your local pharmacy or find one near you.  \nGet your PrEP medication.  \nYour provider may send your prescription to your preferred pharmacy.  \nPick up your prescription inperson, through drive-thru, or by mail at your preferred address.  \nIf you are enrolled in the Ready, Set, PrEP program, find one of the participating pharmacies at  \n[hiv.gov/pharmacies](hiv.gov/pharmacies).  \nStaying on PrEP  \n PrEP medication works when taken as prescribed.  \n Visit your provider for regular follow-ups about every 3 months.  \nYour Journey to HIV PrEP  \nDuring follow-up visits your provider will:  \nTest you for HIV. If your test comes back positive, you will be connected to HIV care and treatment.  \nTest and treat other STIs. Your doctor may test you every 3 to 6 months depending upon your risk or if you have symptoms of an STI.  \nStaying on PrEP  \n⊲ If you’re having trouble taking PrEP medication as prescribed, talk with your provider or pharmacist. Reminders such as pill boxes, apps, or alarms may help.  \n⊲ PrEP doesn’t give you any protection against other STIs, so use condoms too.  \nIf used the right way every time you have sex, condoms are highly effective in preventing HIV and some STIs like gonorrhea and chlamydia.  \n⊲ If you feel you want to stop taking PrEP, talk to your provider or pharmacist for support.  \nIS PrEP RIGHT FOR ME?  \nPrEP is a safe and effective prevention option for people who are HIV-negative. PrEP medication works when taken as prescribed. Find local HIV testing sites near you to learn your status.  \n⊲ You may benefit1 from PrEP if in the last 6 months you:  \n• Had a sexual partner(s) whose status you don’t know or with HIV (especially if the partner has an unknown or detectable viral load)  \n• Have not used condoms consistently and correctly  \n• Had a sexually transmitted infection  \n⊲ PrEP is also recommended if you inject drugs or share syringes or other equipment.  \n⊲ If you live in an area where HIV is more common, getting HIV may be more likely when having sex or sharing needles. Ask your provider if HIV is common where you live and how PrEP may help protect you.  \n⊲ If you have a partner with HIV and are considering getting pregnant, talk to your doctor about PrEP. PrEP may be an option to help protect you and your baby from getting HIV while you try to get pregnant, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding.  \nHOW CAN I GET HELP PAYING FOR PrEP?  \nIf you are uninsured or underinsured, there are a number of programs that may help you pay for PrEP care visits, lab tests, and PrEP medications.
