Free HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is now available for people who do not have a Medicare card and reside anywhere in WA. Access is via a telehealth or in-person appointment at Royal Perth Hospital Sexual Health Clinic or Fremantle Hospital South Terrace Clinic.
To support the program, GPs are asked to:
- Recommend or refer eligible patients to contact Royal Perth Hospital or Fremantle Hospital Sexual Health Clinics. Patients can check their eligibility by visiting prepwest.com.au
- Download or order copies of the promotional poster and display in your waiting area and toilets. Posters are available to order from QuickMail – just search for HIV.
- Speak to colleagues about the program to help spread the word.
