PrEP Access Program / PAPI

Did you know that there is a daily pill that can help prevent HIV called PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis)? Did you also know that there is a program that can help reduce the cost of medical care surrounding PrEP as well?  You can talk to the PrEP navigator about your PrEP questions and PrEP options whether or not you want to be enrolled in PAPI. PrEP is available for anyone and everyone, regardless of insurance coverage, age, sexual orientation, etc.  

To enroll in PAPI:

• You will need some sort of identification stating you live in Ohio, insurance information (if you have insurance) and as negative HIV test result
• You need to make less than 500% of the Federal Poverty Line, which for one person is $62,450.
• We can help you find a provider in the PAPI network to get a prescription for PrEP, or we can work with your primary care physician to become a part of the program as well.  
• PAPI will help pay for your medical expenses (office visits, copays at the doctor or pharmacy, other insurance costs)
• PAPI will not cover the cost of PrEP itself, so an application for Gilead’s patient assistance program will need to be completed. This can be found here
• You WILL need to meet with the clinician every three months for STI screening, HIV screening, and other lab work to get another refill of PrEP.
