Let's start preventing HIV with PrEP
Starting PrEP is as easy as 1, 2, 3
Once you have made the decision that PrEP is the tool for you, all you need to do to get started using PrEP is to see a doctor, get a prescription to buy your PrEP, and start taking it.
1. Start PrEP
see your doctor
You need to make an appointment with a doctor to start your PrEP journey.
At your appointment, your doctor will ask you some questions to assess you for PrEP use. Your doctor will arrange tests for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). You will get your prescription and start PrEP right away. Your doctor will follow up with you for any STI treatments you may need.
You can ask your doctor about vaccinations for sexual health like hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and HPV.
2. Get PrEP
buy online or at any pharmacy
Once you have a prescription from your doctor, you can buy affordable PrEP online to be sent from overseas. This is typically the cheapest option for everyone.
If you have Medicare, you can buy PrEP from any pharmacy. Some local pharmacies, listed on our website, offer discounted PrEP shipped Australia-wide, whether you have Medicare or not!
If you are struggling to afford the cost of PrEP, you may be eligible for our free PrEP coupon scheme. We want to make sure you stay protected from HIV no matter your situation.

3. Use PrEP
Start, stop, or switch any time
Take your PrEP in one of the different ways that protect you and your body. You can follow simple steps in our guide.
Return to your doctor for regular HIV and STI screening, and to get a new prescription to keep taking PrEP. We recommend you book your next appointment to see your doctor when you open your last bottle of PrEP. This will ensure you don't run out of PrEP in-between doctor visits or waiting for your next delivery.
You can switch between different ways of taking PrEP to suit your lifestyle.
You can start and stop taking PrEP any time, by following a few easy steps.
