Pre-exposure prophylaxis, commonly known as PrEP, is a medical strategy for preventing HIV infection in individuals who do not have HIV but are at high risk of contracting it. PrEP involves taking a specific combination of HIV medications regularly, as prescribed, to significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission.
As a PrEP user, you need to have HIV testing done every 3 months.
Annual kidney function blood tests (once a year) are needed to continue this medication if you have diabetes, hypertension or you are older than 50 years of age – click here to receive a lab form at a discounted rate of R50 (usually R250) if you don’t have results available. Return to this service once you have received your results.
This service is not meant to replace regular reviews and monitoring with your GP or local clinic. This service is only for patients currently using PrEP. It is not for starting a new user on PrEP.
Do not continue with this clinical form if you have any of the “⛔(do not proceed)” conditions below. Instead, please consult with our online doctors here for further assessment or if you have not used PrEP before.
