Your fastest path to free PrEP in Florida
Step 1: If you have private insurance, PrEP must be covered at $0 under the ACA — medication, labs, and visits. If you're billed, push back using our guide for insured patients.
Step 2: If you're uninsured, go to MISTR — it's completely free in Florida, including the consultation, at-home lab kits, medication, and delivery. No insurance, no ID, no SSN required.
Step 3: Visit any of Florida's 67 county health departments for a free 90-day PrEP supply with baseline testing. Call the Florida AIDS Hotline at 1-800-352-2437 to find your nearest location.
Step 4: Apply for Gilead Advancing Access for free Descovy or Yeztugo if you earn under 500% FPL (~$79,950/year). Call 1-800-226-2056. No immigration status requirement.
MISTR is free in Florida — medication, labs, everything.
MISTR is headquartered in Miami and covers Florida at $0 for both insured and uninsured patients through 340B partnerships. At-home testing, virtual consultation, prescription, and monthly delivery included.

Know your rights
Minors
Florida Statute §384.30 allows minors of any age to consent to STI examination and treatment without parental consent. PrEP is not expressly named in the statute. A 2025 legislative effort (HB 1505) to require parental consent for STI treatment was advanced but ultimately stopped.
Undocumented residents
County health departments generally serve regardless of documentation. MISTR requires no insurance, ID, or documentation. Gilead Advancing Access has no immigration requirement. However, a hospital immigration status questioning law creates a chilling effect on care-seeking.
Transgender individuals
Gender-affirming care for minors is banned in Florida. A "License to Discriminate" law allows healthcare providers to refuse service based on religious or moral beliefs. PrEP itself is not restricted, but the hostile legislative climate deters many transgender people from engaging with healthcare. Trans-affirming PrEP providers include Metro Healthy Communities, Planned Parenthood, FOLX Health, and Q Care Plus.
HIV criminalization
Florida has HIV-specific criminal statutes. Knowingly transmitting HIV is a felony. These laws can deter people from getting tested and disclosing their status, which undermines prevention efforts.
