One effective way to protect yourself from contracting HIV is through PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis. If you live in South Los Angeles and are looking for accessible PrEP services, look no further than T.H.E. (To Help Everyone) Health and Wellness Centers.

Did You Know?

• PrEP is preventive medication that can help you stay HIV negative. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV.
• PrEP is covered under almost all health insurance plans. That means you can’t be charged for your PrEP medication or the clinic visits and lab tests you need to maintain your prescription.
• If you don’t have insurance or Medicaid coverage, there are other programs that provide PrEP for free or at a reduced cost.

At T.H.E., we are committed to providing comprehensive healthcare services to all members of our community, regardless of background or income level. Our PrEP services are designed to make it easy and affordable for you to take control of your sexual health.

What is PrEP, and how does it work?

PrEP is a medication that is taken daily to prevent HIV transmission. The medication works by blocking the virus from reproducing in the body. When taken as prescribed, PrEP has been shown to be up to 99% effective at preventing HIV transmission.

Who is a good candidate for PrEP?

PrEP is recommended for individuals who are at high risk of contracting HIV. This includes individuals who have unprotected sex, have multiple sexual partners, or inject drugs. If you are unsure whether you are a good candidate for PrEP, our healthcare providers can help you determine your level of risk and provide guidance on whether PrEP is right for you.
