Read MorePrEP and PEP for HIV Prevention
PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a once-a-day pill taken by people who are HIV-negative to keep from getting HIV. When used on a daily basis, PrEP is over 90% effective at preventing HIV infection. You can use PrEP alongside condoms and other prevention methods to provide the maximum level of protection for you and your partners with little to no side effects. PrEP is covered by most insurance plans, and offered to patients at CrescentCare clinics, where specially trained staff are available to answer your questions and help you set up an appointment.

CrescentCare is pursuing many new strategies to best serve the Transgender Community. Our qualified providers treat all patients, regardless of gender or identity, with respect and compassion. We employ an informed consent model to decrease barriers to care and increase access to Hormone Access for the Trans Community, and created a Transgender Advisory Committee among our Transgender staff. In November of 2017, we launched our Gender Clinic, a full-day primary care clinic devoted to all clients along the gender spectrum. It is staffed by a highly-trained provider and nurse care coordinator. We are planning to open a second day of Gender Clinic in March of 2018.
