Why WeCare for PrEP

Expert PrEP care in Brandon - discreet, fast, & covered

Same-week appointments, insurance verification, and a welcoming team that puts your privacy first.

Highly effective

The CDC reports that PrEP taken daily as prescribed reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99%. It is the most effective biomedical HIV prevention tool available.

Board-certified providers

Our providers have extensive experience with PrEP management, STI care, and inclusive sexual health services.

Completely confidential

Your PrEP use and sexual health information is protected under HIPAA. We maintain strict confidentiality. No judgment. No disclosure without your consent.

Same-week appointments

New PrEP patients are typically seen within 3–5 business days. Emergency PEP consultations are available same-day in-person or via telehealth.

Insurance covered

Under the ACA, most insurance plans must cover PrEP at zero cost-sharing - that means the prescription AND the quarterly labs. We verify your coverage before your visit.

Telehealth across Florida

Start or continue PrEP via telehealth from anywhere in Florida. Labs ordered to your nearest draw site. Prescription sent to your pharmacy. No travel required.

Comprehensive STI testing

HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B/C, herpes, and more - all at one visit. Discreet, fast results with follow-up guidance from your provider.

Inclusive, affirming care

WeCare is a welcoming clinic for LGBTQ+ patients, people of color, sex workers, and anyone seeking non-judgmental sexual health care in Brandon, FL.

PrEP Medications

FDA-Approved PrEP Options

Your WeCare provider will recommend the right PrEP for your specific situation, health history, and lifestyle.

Daily oral PrEP

Original formulation, available as a low-cost generic

The first FDA-approved approach to PrEP and the most studied. Approved for all populations at risk of HIV, and available as an inexpensive generic.

  • Available as low-cost generic
  • Approved for all genders
  • The most studied option

Alternative daily PrEP

Newer formulation, gentler on kidneys and bone density

A newer daily option with a more favourable kidney and bone safety profile. Often preferred where there are kidney concerns or low bone density. Not approved for everyone - your provider will discuss whether it fits.

  • Better kidney safety profile
  • Often preferred for older patients
  • Not suitable for every risk type

Long-acting injectable PrEP

Given every two months instead of daily

An injectable option given every 2 months, for people who find a daily pill hard to keep up. Starts with two injections 4 weeks apart, then every two months. Ask whether it is available.

  • Injection every 2 months
  • No daily pill required
  • Requires office visits

Common Questions

HIV PrEP FAQs - Brandon, FL

What is PrEP and how effective is it?

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily pill that prevents HIV in HIV-negative people. According to the CDC, taken consistently it reduces HIV risk from sex by about 99% and from injection drug use by at least 74%.

How do I get PrEP in Brandon, FL?

Book online or call (813) 438-5220. We will order baseline labs, evaluate your health, and prescribe PrEP the same day if labs are negative and you are medically appropriate.

Is PrEP covered by insurance?

Yes - the ACA requires most plans to cover PrEP at zero out-of-pocket cost, including quarterly labs. We verify your benefits before your visit. Uninsured patients qualify for the Ready, Set, PrEP program (free medication).

Who needs PrEP?

The CDC recommends PrEP for any HIV-negative person at substantial risk: those with an HIV-positive partner, multiple sex partners, inconsistent condom use, or recent STI diagnosis. All genders and sexual orientations.

What labs do I need before starting?

HIV test (must be negative), kidney function, hepatitis B, and STI panel. Repeated every 3 months while on PrEP.

Can I get PrEP via telehealth in Florida?

Yes. We prescribe and manage PrEP via telehealth across all of Florida. Labs are ordered to your nearest LabCorp or Quest. Prescription sent directly to your pharmacy.

What STI testing do you offer?

HIV (4th gen), gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B/C, and trichomonas - all at one visit, confidential, covered by most insurance for at-risk individuals.

What is PEP and when do I need it?

PEP is emergency HIV prevention taken within 72 hours of potential HIV exposure, for 28 days. Call us immediately or go to an ER if you think you were exposed. We offer urgent-care PEP consultations.

Is my PrEP use confidential?

Completely. Your sexual health information is protected under HIPAA. We never share it with employers, family, or anyone outside your care team without written consent.

Do you offer injectable PrEP?

We offer consultations for long-acting injectable PrEP, given every 2 months. Ask about eligibility at your appointment.

Medical note: PrEP does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections. Use condoms to reduce STI risk. If you think you have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours, contact us immediately for emergency PEP evaluation. PrEP requires a prescription and regular medical monitoring.
