Are you HIV-negative but at very high risk for HIV? The PrEP clinic at University of Iowa Health Care–Iowa River Landing offers monitoring and prevention services for patients at risk for HIV infection.

What is PrEP?

PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a daily medicine that can reduce your chance of getting HIV. It can stop HIV from taking hold and spreading throughout your body.

Daily PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by more than 90%, and more than 70% among people who inject drugs. Your risk of getting HIV from sex can be even lower if you combine PrEP with condoms and other prevention methods.

Is PrEP Right for You?

PrEP may benefit you if you are HIV-negative and if any of the following apply to you.

You are a gay/bisexual man and:

Have an HIV-positive partner
Have multiple partners, or a partner whose HIV status is unknown and you also:
- Have sex without a condom, or
- Recently had a sexually transmitted disease (STD)

How Can You Get Help to Pay for PrEP?

Most private and state Medicaid plans cover PrEP. If you are on Medicaid, check with your benefits counselor.

If you have health insurance, you may receive co-pay assistance from drug manufacturers or patient advocacy foundations.

If you are without medical insurance, consider enrolling in an insurance marketplace, manufacturer patient assistance program, or your state's Medicaid plan, if you are eligible for it.
