Prepping for a difficult visit with the doctor?

NEW INFO RESOURCE

Click: PrEP and working through a difficult doctor visit

PrEP is a revolutionary medical advancement for preventing HIV infection. If you believe you’re a good candidate for PrEP, or at least want to discuss it, then you’re entitled to have an informed and respectful conversation with your medical provider.

Unfortunately some providers have been uniformed, ill-informed or even biased about this medical intervention. Because of the challenging stories we’ve heard from individuals, Project Inform wrote this pamphlet (with help from us at My PrEP Experience) to help you prepare for a visit to your medical provider to discuss PrEP, and to correct any false or misleading information you may hear in the process.

 This is a brief 'n easy-to-read brochure and friendly to your handheld device.

PrEP Facts Brochure for People and Providers

Since we know one of the biggest barriers for PrEP access is providers who are resistant to providing a prescription, our friends at San Francisco AIDS Foundation developed a patient-provider brochure to help overcome this potential barrier to both learn more about PrEP and use it as a tool to talk with your medical provider. Print it off, or save it on your phone.

It features details on how PrEP works, what taking PrEP entails, cost and insurance information, checklists, as well as PrEP-related billing codes that will help your provider figure out how to submit your services for payment from insurance companies and Medicaid.

Check out PrEPfacts.org for more great resources.
