HIV PrEP guide

HIV PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) online in Virginia and West Virginia

This guide is for starting or continuing daily HIV PrEP for ongoing prevention needs, with a recent negative HIV test and kidney function labs. PrEP is not for a recent high-risk exposure — that needs PEP, which is urgent in-person or ER care within hours, not PrEP.

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a daily pill that's highly effective at preventing HIV when taken consistently, for people with ongoing risk of exposure. If you have a recent negative HIV test and normal kidney function, online review can often start or continue PrEP quickly. PrEP is different from PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) — if you've already had a high-risk exposure in the last 72 hours, you need PEP, which is urgent in-person or ER care, not PrEP.

What's the difference between PrEP and PEP?

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is taken before a possible exposure to prevent HIV — it's an ongoing daily (or on-demand) medication for people at continued risk. PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is taken after a specific, already-happened high-risk exposure and must be started within 72 hours, ideally much sooner. If you've already been exposed, PrEP will not work retroactively — you need PEP through urgent in-person or emergency care.

Why do I need a negative HIV test to start PrEP?

PrEP is not a full treatment regimen for existing HIV infection, so it's essential to confirm you're HIV-negative before starting, and periodically afterward. Starting PrEP with an undiagnosed HIV infection can allow the virus to develop resistance to the medication.

What is on-demand ('2-1-1') dosing?

On-demand dosing is an alternative to daily PrEP, studied specifically in men who have sex with men, involving a loading dose before sex and follow-up doses afterward. It requires planning ahead and precise timing, and is not established for vaginal sex. It's available as a shared decision after discussing whether it fits your situation.
