What Is PrEP?<\/h2>\n

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a medicine you take to prevent Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) before you are exposed to it<\/strong>. Think of it like a shield. When taken as directed, PrEP is highly effective at stopping HIV from taking hold in your body. It is a safe, proven way to protect yourself.<\/p>\n

PrEP may be right for you if you are sexually active and want an extra layer of protection. It is also helpful for people who have a partner living with HIV or who may be at higher risk through other activities.<\/p>\n

PrEP Is FREE at Health Plus Indiana<\/h2>\n

Cost should never stand between you and your health. At Health Plus Indiana, PrEP is free regardless of your insurance status<\/strong>. If you have insurance, great \u2014 we will work with it.

  • Step 2: HIV Test and Lab Work<\/strong> \u2014 Before starting PrEP, we need to make sure you are HIV-negative. We will run a quick HIV test and some basic blood work.<\/li>\n
  • Step 3: Regular Check-Ups<\/strong> \u2014 Once you start PrEP, you will have a check-up every 3 months. These visits keep you healthy and make sure the medicine is working well for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
