PrEP- Prescription Discreetly/Not Home Delivered?

[JackMiller2226]

Hey everyone, I hope I'm posting this in the right spot. Developments in my relationship have led me to explore with other men. I want to be as safe as possible, which will mean PrEP. I cannot get it delivered to my home, but I would like to get it online and then pickup if possible? Does anyone know of a source to do this?

Follow up, if it goes through insurance, how does that show up? Will it say prep or what its about?

Thank you all

It will be labelled with a prescription name; mine is Emtricitabine. No one will know what it's for unless they read the literature that comes with it. I just pick it up at the pharmacy. I wouldn't order it online, since you won't be sure what you'll get. Why not talk to your doctor?

Hmm okay. Well my husband would know what the medicine is if he saw it. The online order portals are through doctors as well there are preconsults and things. I made an appointment so we will see

CVS pharmacy if it has an access point. Just ask. It’s great!

If you can't easily pick it up at the pharmacy, get yourself a private mailbox at the local UPS store or similar.

There seems no way to get away from the paper trail.

Sure, but does it matter in all instances? The existence of receipts doesn't mean anyone will actually go search them out or ever actually see them. Come out to California, you can get 30 days supply just by asking at any pharmacy. Then just do the 2-1-1 regimen and it'll last you a while.

I didn’t know that. You can literally just walk into any CVS or whatever and ask for Prep? Same for Doxy Pep?

I don't believe Doxy is included in the legislation, just HIV PrEP/PEP.

See: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CI...ry_Coverage_Through_Authorized_Pharmacies.pdf

"In 2019, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 159, which allows pharmacists to furnish HIV PrEP and PEP to eligible patients without a prescription."
