Before your first appointment
- Tell the clinician whether you have taken PrEP or PEP before.
- Ask what HIV, STI and other labs are needed for the medication they recommend.
- Check whether your provincial or private coverage requires a particular pharmacy.
- Ask how follow-up testing and refills are arranged.
Urgent: If a potential HIV exposure occurred in the last 72 hours, seek emergency clinical advice on PEP now. Do not wait for a routine PrEP appointment.
