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. Taken consistently, it reduces HIV risk from sex by ~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 (Apretude)?
We offer consultations for long-acting injectable PrEP (cabotegravir/Apretude), 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.
