“This could’ve been a PrEP telehealth appointment.”
We all know that feeling—sitting in an uncomfortable waiting room. You’re not sick; instead, you’re just here for a quick visit to get your labs for your PrEP refill. But there’s someone coughing next to you, and that other guy looks like he should have stayed at home too. Your heart’s still racing from rushing through traffic to make it on time and frankly, you have work to do. And you think to yourself, “Why am I even here? There must be an easier way.”
Great news! In this blog, you’ll learn how to get you out of that plastic seat and back on your own comfy couch.
What Is A PrEP Telehealth Appointment?
An online PrEP appointment is exactly what it sounds like—a virtual way to manage your sexual health. But, with ultimate convenience. Imagine logging on at a time that’s convenient for you and chatting online with your telehealth doctor from home. No more worrying about catching something in a waiting room. And no more stressing to get to the PrEP appointment on time (only to wait and wait and wait). With Q Care Plus all you need is a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera!
Q Care Plus Makes Telehealth for PrEP and STIs Easy
Q Care Plus makes virtual PrEP appointments and online STI care easy. Especially, when you need to have those important conversations about starting PrEP to prevent HIV and doxy-PEP for STI prevention. Follow-up telehealth care is just as simple. We offer quick automated check-ins every three months to keep you on track with zero stress (or cost!). As a result, you can stay on top of your sexual health with no hassle.
If you’re new to telePrEP and Q Care Plus, your first appointment usually takes less than 5 minutes! Simply log on at your appointment time, chat with the PrEP provider you selected, and answer a few simple questions.
Your provider will help determine the best medication for you, and get your first prescription(s) on the way. Your provider will also help you set up your at-home testing (or in-lab test if you prefer). Afterwards, you can access your provider through the online patient portal at any time through and after this process.
How Do At-Home HIV And STI Tests Work With Virtual PrEP Appointments?
You may be wondering how HIV and STI testing works with telehealth appointments. That’s one of the best parts! With Q Care Plus, testing at home is hassle-free. A convenient at-home test kit for HIV and the 3 STIs: Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia is delivered to you in a discreet package. In your test kit, you will find everything you need for sample collection (including super easy-to-follow instructions in both English and Spanish!). Just send it back, and we’ll handle the rest.
PrEP Virtual Appointments When STI Testing and Treatment Is Needed
If you test positive for an STI, your Q Care Plus telehealth provider will reach out to discuss your results. This will go over treatment options for you and your partners, and ensure you get the necessary care. We won’t leave you hanging!
STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis can be treated with oral medication. Q Care Plus providers will send the prescription to your preferred pharmacy. If you need injectable medication, we’ll refer you to local care. Q Care Plus telehealth PrEP providers are always available to talk about the best treatment options for you. And answer any questions you have, of course!

A Few More Details To Note
As a reminder, we only test PrEP patients for STIs and HIV. However, if you test positive for an STI while testing for HIV, we will treat you for you for that as well!
Once you and your provider decide PrEP and doxy-PEP are right for you, we will send prescriptions for both medications at the same time. We only prescribe doxy-PEP to patients in eligible states with your PrEP initial or quarterly prescription from Q Care Plus.
Check if Q Care Plus provides PrEP plus doxy-PEP prescriptions in your state.
