PrEP Initiation October 2026

Introducing PrEP: Your Path to HIV Prevention

What is PrEP?

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective medication that can significantly reduce your risk of contracting HIV. When taken as prescribed, PrEP can lower your risk by over 90%.

Our PrEP Initiation Offers:

Comprehensive HIV Screening: Before starting PrEP, we conduct a full spectrum sexual health assessment, including:
HIV testing

Hepatitis B and C screening

Sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing (e.g., chlamydia, gonorrhoea)

Renal function (kidney and liver function tests – which will have ongoing oversight and support from The Northern Clinic, to maintain your renal health during PrEP course)

PrEP Consultation & Prescription:
Our experienced team will discuss your individual risk factors and answer all your questions about PrEP.

We’ll determine if PrEP is right for you and provide a personalised prescription, and if you're suitable you will get your medication straight away.

We’ll discuss how to regulate taking your medication and potential side effects.

Ongoing Support & Monitoring:
Your repeat prescriptions will be handled through the Northern where you can book and appointment through your personal health record here: https://mft.myphr.online/

We offer ongoing support to ensure you're successfully using PrEP.
