Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have to be gay to take PrEP?
Not at all. PrEP is for anyone who is HIV-negative and at higher risk of exposure, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. While PrEP is particularly well-known in the LGBTQ community, it's also widely used by heterosexual people who have partners with HIV, people who don't consistently use condoms, and people who share injection equipment. At PrEP2Me, we welcome everyone, and our care is designed to be inclusive and affirming, no matter who you are or who you love.
What is PEP, and how is it different from PrEP?
PEP stands for post-exposure prophylaxis. It's an emergency medication you can take after a potential HIV exposure to prevent the virus from taking hold in your body. Unlike PrEP, which is taken daily as an ongoing prevention strategy, PEP is only used in urgent situations. It has to be started within 72 hours of exposure to work, so time is critical. PrEP2Me offers both PrEP and PEP, and our providers can help you figure out which one applies to your situation and answer any questions.
Does PrEP2Me accept insurance in Cleveland Heights, OH?
Yes, PrEP2Me accepts all major insurance plans. And if you're uninsured or underinsured, there are assistance programs available that can help cover the cost of PrEP for people who qualify. Our team is happy to help you explore those options so that cost isn't a barrier to getting the care you need. Everyone in the Cleveland Heights area deserves access to HIV prevention, and we're committed to making that happen.
