Get PrEP and PEP at the Pharmacy

Did you know Californians can now access Pre-Exposure ​Prophylaxis (PrEP) or Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) at some pharmacies without needing to visit a doctor? ​In 2019, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 159, which allows pharmacists to initiate and dispense PrEP and PEP to an HIV negative person without a prescription. Use the Board of Pharmacy Health Services Provided by Pharmacists search tool to find a pharmacy near you that provides PrEP or PEP without a doctor’s prescription.

    What is PrEP?

    Short for ā€œpre-exposure prophylaxis,ā€ PrEP is an HIV prevention strategy in which HIV-negative people take an oral pill once a day before coming into contact with HIV to reduce their risk of HIV infection. PrEP must be taken for at least 7 days to reach optimal levels of protection against HIV.

    What is PEP?

    Short for ā€œpost-exposure prophylaxis,ā€ PEP is an HIV prevention strategy in which HIV-negative people take anti-HIV medications after coming into contact with HIV to reduce their risk of HIV infection. PEP must be started within 72 hours after HIV exposure.

    What is Truvada?

    This brand-name drug combines tenofovir (Viread) and emtricitabine (Emtriva) into one pill and is made by Gilead Sciences. It has been used by HIV-positive people to treat HIV disease since 2004, and currently is the only pill approved for PrEP for HIV-negative people

    Who should take PrEP or PEP?

    Only people who are HIV negative should use PrEP or PEP. You must be tested for HIV and have a documented negative test result before starting PrEP. PrEP and PEP are available by prescription from a medical provider, such as a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. You can also get PEP at your local emergency room or urgent care clinic, although these locations may provide just the first two or three days’ doses to get you started (for example, until your medical provider’s office reopens on a weekday). You will need to talk with your provider to see if PrEP or PEP is right for you.
