Prep Experience in NYC
-
Does anyone have any experience with obtaining Prep in NYC? Looking to get started and would love to hear from anyone who is currently on it.
Thanks !

They're making a bigger effort to role out PReP to more MSM here in NYC, especially men of color. Go to https://a816-healthpsi.nyc.gov/DispensingSiteLocator/mainView.do;%20jsessionid=F40D924A6853293B0C2F1190349F9AD1 and you'll be able to put in your zip code and find the clinic nearest to you. I've been on it for almost two years now and HIGHLY recommend it. It is easier to get if you are insured. However if you are not there are two prescriptions assistance programs out there that should help you pay for it. They can be found at http://www.gilead.com/responsibility/us-patient-access/truvada%20for%20prep%20medication%20assistance%20program and at https://panfoundation.org/index.php/en/patients/assistance-programs/hiv-prevention-and-treatment
Feel free to ask any other more specific questions you have.

I'm on medicaid. So I can contact any clinic - I don't have to go through my primary doc ?
Thanks so much for the info ! !
