Information and qualified care

PrEP & DoxyPEP

PrEP: HIV prevention

PrEP is prescription medicine used before potential exposure to help prevent HIV in people who do not have HIV. A clinician can discuss the available options, testing, and follow-up. PrEP does not prevent other STIs.

DoxyPEP: certain bacterial STIs

DoxyPEP uses prescribed doxycycline after sex to reduce the risk of certain bacterial STIs. It does not prevent HIV. It is not suitable for everyone; discuss eligibility, side effects, antibiotic resistance, and STI testing with a clinician.

Speak with a nurse or doctor

Search Planned Parenthood for in-person or telehealth care. Ask the local health center whether it offers PrEP or DoxyPEP, what testing is needed, and what your visit will cost.

LGBTQ+ inclusive professionals

GLMA links to the LGBTQ+ Healthcare Directory, covering the U.S. and Canada. Search for inclusive medical or mental health professionals and confirm services, licensing, insurance, and availability with the provider.

Find an LGBTQ+ inclusive provider

These are educational resources and connections to care, not individual medical advice. If you may have recently been exposed to HIV, seek urgent clinical advice about HIV PEP; PrEP and DoxyPEP are not substitutes for HIV PEP.

Help finding affordable care

Free or low-cost flu shots

Have insurance?

CVS offers flu shots at no cost with most insurance plans for eligible patients. Check that your location and vaccine are covered before booking; uninsured visits can have a charge.

Check coverage and appointments

Uninsured or underinsured?

Ask your local 211 about free vaccination events or assistance. Use the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics directory to find clinics, then ask whether they have flu vaccines, who qualifies, and whether there is any fee.
