PrEP for HIV Prevention

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a highly effective method of HIV prevention. With PrEP, people who are HIV-negative take medication to reduce the risk of getting infected if they’re exposed to HIV.

PEP is a month-long course of medication for people who have been exposed to HIV in the previous 72 hours and are not currently taking PrEP.

You can access PrEP or PEP at San Francisco AIDS Foundation.

HIV CARE

If you’re living with HIV but aren’t in care or aren’t taking medication, we can help. We can provide interim HIV treatment and rapid HIV medication start. We can also help you access patient assistance programs and insurance benefits to help pay for treatment.
