Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)

Let’s talk about PrEP

You like what you like. You want what you want, so take control of your sexual health. PrEP is a once daily medication that can reduce your risk of getting HIV.

Taking PrEP is a simple and easy step you can take towards a healthy sex life. It’s a key part of a wide range of practices, which include PEP, condoms, and more to have the kind of sex you want. Stop by any of our three sexual health walk-in clinics or make an appointment at one of our clinics across Chicago today to talk to a provider about PrEP.

Call 773.388.1600 to make an appointment, or email prep@howardbrown.org for more information.

Let’s talk about cost

A monthly medication prescription is necessary for PrEP. The PrEP medications and the necessary follow-up appointments are covered by all insurances. If you are uninsured or cannot afford your medication costs, contact prep@howardbrown.org or 773.388.1600 ext 5120 to discuss options available.

Once you start PrEP, cost shouldn’t be a reason to stop. If you believe that you have been incorrectly charged for PrEP prescriptions or lab copay fees by your insurance, we can help you file a complaint. For more information, contact preplabs@howardbrown.org or view our PrEP Cost Sharing Complaint Template.
