Give yourself peace of mind with Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), the daily PrEP medication that’s 99% effective in preventing HIV.*

What is PrEP medication?

The once-daily PrEP pill reduces your chances of getting HIV through sex by 99%. If you are sexually active, no matter your gender or sexual orientation, and are at risk of getting HIV, consider getting PrEP medication today. Furthermore, PrEP is also for people ho inject drugs and are at risk for HIV.

How Effective is the PrEP pill?

PrEP medication is highly effective for preventing HIV because it stops the virus from entering and spreading in your body. Specifically, when taken as prescribed, PrEP is 99% effective at preventing HIV from sex and 90% effective at preventing HIV from injection drug use. However, oral PrEP medication is less effective when not taken as prescribed.

Monty J.

“QCarePlus has been a BLESSING. My health insurance provider has a specialty clinic for PrEP nearly an hour away from me—and I’m in Los Angeles! You’d think a giant corporation would have more convenient locations. Alas, no. QCarePlus has a location ten minutes from me and it’s made my life much easier—especially with the mail-in testing.

Raffi Bashlian, NP, has also been incredibly kind, patient, and informative with all of my questions and concerns. Couldn’t ask for a better practitioner. Thank you for everything, Raffi!”

Jay N.

“Before Q Care Plus, I genuinely didn’t think I’d ever be able to get put on PrEP; I thought there was no way I was going to afford it! Now, I’ve been on it for about a year and a half, and will be continuing it for the foreseeable future! I’m so grateful for how Q Care Plus has increased access to PrEP and for how easy it has made the entire process – not stressful at all! Anthony Interrante is my Q Care Plus Nurse Practitioner and he’s amazing! If I ever have a question about something, he’s super helpful and answers in a timely manner! If I happen to be late on submitting something, such as my at-home lab kit, he’ll bring it up in order to get me back on track, which I think is super helpful and important, so I really appreciate it! If you’re considering Q Care Plus, I cannot recommend it enough because my experience with it and with Anthony have been nothing but positive!”
