​The purpose of this memo is to inform Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Assistance Program (PrEP-AP) Enrollment Workers (EW) that the federal Ready, Set, PrEP pharmaceutical assistance program will stop new client enrollments on July 30, 2024. Current enrollees in the Ready, Set, PrEP program can continue to fill their oral PrEP prescriptions at no cost at their choice of participating pharmacies or via mail order.

Previously, PrEP-AP clients enrolled as uninsured could enroll in Ready, Set, PrEP for coverage of their PrEP medications. PrEP-AP clients who are currently enrolled in Ready, Set, PrEP can continue to use the program for their PrEP medications. Clients not currently enrolled in Ready, Set, PrEP will need to enroll in a different pharmaceutical assistance program:

• Advancing Access® for Truvada® or Descovy®
• ViiVConnect for Apretude®

If you have any questions regarding the information provided in this memo, please contact your PrEP-AP Advisor.

T​hank you,

​
