Keeping You PrEP’ed
For All Of Life’s Adventures

Our Services

  • Pre–Exposure Prophylaxis, or PrEP, is the method of taking HIV medication to prevent HIV. PrEP is available in both injectable and pill form.

    When taken as prescribed, PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% and the risk of getting HIV from injection drug use by at least 74% . PrEP is just one way to prevent HIV, along with talking about your status with your partners, getting tested regularly, and consistently using condoms and lube. PrEP does not prevent pregnancy or other STIs.

  • PrEP may be a good option if you want an effective way to prevent HIV transmission. It can provide peace of mind and an added layer of protection.

    You may benefit from PrEP if you are not living with HIV and:

    • Have a partner who is living with HIV

    • Use condoms inconsistently or not at all

    • Engage in sex work

    • Have a recent STI diagnosis

    • Share injection equipment

  • PrEP is a prescription medication. If you're interested, our team can guide you through the process, from initial consultation to ongoing care.

    If you think PrEP may be right for you, here are a few tips for talking with your provider:

    • Be clear. Tell your provider that you’re interested in PrEP.

    • Ask questions! It’s your health, and you have a right to take charge of your own health decisions.

    • Don’t be shy. Give your medical provider all the details about your life that could be important to your health, especially your sexual health.

  • PrEP is covered by the Oregon Health Plan and most private insurance plans. If you don’t have insurance, assistance programs are available to help cover costs. Our PrEP Navigators can assist with payment assistance, insurance enrollment, and other coverage options.
