In this video, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis says that PrEP is low cost or free for most people. Insurance helps cover these expenses, but there are also co-pay assistance programs that help. There are also programs available to those who are uninsured that help cover PrEP. This video is a joint production of KFF's Greater Than HIV and CDC's Let's Stop HIV Together.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis breaks down what is involved in prescribing PrEP. One, HIV testing should be done to make sure they don’t have HIV and if they do, it is important to prescribe treatment. Two, test for other sexually transmitted infections and make sure they are up to date with vaccines. Three, provide baseline test. Once you have all that information, you can prescribe PrEP. As a clinician, you should come up with a follow up plan as well. This video is a joint production of KFF's Greater Than HIV and CDC's Let's Stop HIV Together.
