PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a daily medication regimen which prevents human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections for those without HIV who are at risk of contracting the virus (offered at the Internal Medicine clinic at Iowa River Landing Building A).

TelePrEP uses secure video conferencing for in-home visits between patients in rural areas and University of Iowa Health Care providers. The medication is delivered via mail directly to a patient's home. This program expands HIV prevention across the state of Iowa. Email [email protected]​ or call 1-319-467-8777 for more information.

Self-Referral to Iowa TelePrEP

Iowa TelePrEP is a program from University of Iowa Health Care and the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services. Our goal is to help people across Iowa get easy access to HIV prevention and end stigma around HIV.
