HIV PrEP consultations
PrEP is doctor-led prevention for people planning ahead. Discuss suitability, testing, medicine monitoring and current availability privately.
Who may want to discuss PrEP
PrEP may be an option for ongoing HIV prevention. A clinician can help you decide whether it fits your circumstances and discuss alternatives.
What happens at the visit
- Private consultation and appropriate HIV testing.
- Baseline checks and discussion of the regimen.
- Prescription, monitoring and follow-up as advised by the doctor.
Preparation, results and follow-up
Ask the clinic how baseline checks and follow-up results will be arranged. PrEP is not emergency care; if the possible exposure was within 72 hours, see urgent HIV PEP information.
