PrEP (HIV Prevention)

Confidential HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis with ongoing monitoring and support.

(646) 741-2111

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is one of the most effective tools available for preventing HIV infection, reducing the risk of acquiring HIV through sexual contact by approximately 99% when taken as prescribed. At Moses Medical Center, we provide comprehensive PrEP services in a confidential, nonjudgmental environment. Our providers are experienced in prescribing both oral PrEP options, including Truvada and Descovy, as well as the long-acting injectable Apretude (cabotegravir), which is administered every two months and eliminates the need for a daily pill.

Starting PrEP at Moses Medical Center begins with a straightforward evaluation that includes baseline lab work, kidney function testing, and screening for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Once started, you’ll have quarterly follow-up visits that include ongoing lab monitoring, STI screening, and a check-in with your provider to address any questions or side effects. These regular visits are an important part of PrEP care, ensuring that the medication continues to be safe and effective for you.

We believe that PrEP should be accessible to everyone who can benefit from it, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Our team is knowledgeable about patient assistance programs and manufacturer copay cards that can reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs. If you’re interested in PrEP, or simply want to learn more about whether it’s right for you, we welcome you to schedule a confidential consultation. No referral is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PrEP and who should consider it?
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily medication that is over 99 percent effective at preventing HIV when taken as prescribed. It is recommended for anyone who is HIV-negative and at increased risk, including people with an HIV-positive partner, those who do not consistently use condoms, people who inject drugs, or anyone who has had a recent sexually transmitted infection.
Is PrEP covered by my insurance?
Yes. Under the Affordable Care Act, most insurance plans must cover PrEP with zero copay, including the medication and all required lab work and office visits. New York Medicaid and most Marketplace plans cover PrEP fully. If you are uninsured, we can help you access PrEP through patient assistance programs at no cost.
What lab work is required for PrEP?
Before starting PrEP, you will need an HIV test, kidney function test, hepatitis B screening, and STI screening. Once on PrEP, follow-up labs are required every 3 months including an HIV test and STI screening, and kidney function tests every 6 months. These visits also serve as a regular check-in with your provider.
Is PrEP confidential?
Absolutely. All PrEP-related visits, testing, and prescriptions are fully confidential and protected by HIPAA. Your provider will not share your PrEP status with anyone without your written consent. We provide a judgment-free, affirming environment for all patients.
