PrEP consultation

In our weekly PrEP consultation, we provide you with comprehensive and individualised information on the topic. After consultation, the necessary preliminary and follow-up examinations as well as prescriptions can be carried out in the on-site medical consultation.

Key information about HIV PrEP

PrEP is a safer-sex method in which HIV-negative people take an HIV medication before, during, and after potential exposure to HIV to protect themselves from infection.
In principle, anyone can protect themselves from HIV with PrEP, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.
People with statutory health insurance who have a substantial (increased) risk of HIV can receive PrEP prescriptions from certain doctors. The medication and related examinations are then covered by the health insurance.
PrEP can also be prescribed by any doctor on a private prescription. In this case, the cost must be borne by the patient.
PrEP is taken daily, either continuously or around periods of risk.
People taking PrEP must be regularly tested for HIV and kidney function. Testing for other sexually transmitted infections is also included. Good medical supervision is therefore essential when taking PrEP.
PrEP protects against HIV, but not against other sexually transmitted infections or hepatitis.
