PrEP financial support

Most insurance plans and state Medicaid programs cover the cost of PrEP because it must be free under almost all health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act. This means that you cannot be charged for your PrEP medication, clinic visits, and lab tests. If you are not insured, see below programs to access PrEP at no or low cost.
