What to Expect at Your PrEP Visits

One-Month Follow-Up
About 3–4 weeks after starting PrEP, you will return for a follow-up HIV test, medication refill or additional supply, and brief blood work.

Routine Visits
Routine visits include HIV and STI testing, lab monitoring, medication refills, and ongoing support from the PrEP team.

Yearly Visit
Once a year, you will have a visit similar to a routine appointment, with additional testing to support your long-term health.
