HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) updates

This page provides the most up-to-date information about recent and sudden changes to the PrEP services in King County. We will continue to update this page as we learn new information to share with our community.

To all Sexual Health Clinic PrEP clients:

The Washington State Department of Health's PrEP Drug Assistance Program (PrEP DAP), a financial assistance program that helps some of you pay for PrEP visits and medications if you do not have insurance or your insurance does not cover the full cost, recently let us know that they are making financial cuts. These cuts may result in some of you receiving bills for PrEP services or having copays when picking up your medications or receiving services here at the Sexual Health Clinic.

Our priority is to make sure you stay on PrEP.

We will be working with each of you individually at your appointments to ensure you get PrEP and all other services at the lowest possible cost. We are still learning about the impacts of this change, but we will continue to provide updates as soon as we have them. If at any time financial strain (or anything else) is keeping you from getting or taking PrEP, please call us at 206-744-3954.

We are committed to helping you stay on PrEP.

Clientes del programa de PrEP de la Clínica de Salud Sexual:

El Departamento de Salud del Estado de Washington nos informó recientemente que su Programa de Asistencia de Medicaciones (PrEP DAP) está cortando fondos. PrEP DAP es el programa que financia ciertos servicios de PrEP como las visitas médicas y los medicamentos para la gente que no tiene seguro médico y aquellos que tienen seguro médico, pero no tienen una cobertura médica apropiada. Debido a estos cortes, es posible se le pida un copago o que reciba una factura al momento de presentarse a la clínica para una consulta o a la farmacia para recoger sus medicamentos.

Nuestra prioridad es que usted siga tomando su PrEP.

En su próxima visita, trabajaremos con cada uno de ustedes para hacer un plan personalizado y asegurarnos de que reciba todos los servicios de PrEP sin costo o al menor costo posible. Todavía estamos descubriendo cuál será el impacto de estos cambios y les mantendremos informados a medida que recibamos información nueva. Si en cualquier momento el costo (o cualquier otra razón) le impide conseguir o tomar su PrEP, por favor de llámenos por teléfono al 206-744-3954. Nosotros vamos a encontrar una manera de conseguirle más PrEP.

Estamos comprometidos a ayudarles a seguir tomando su PrEP.
