Pre Exposure Prophylaxis Drug Assistance Program (PrEP DAP)

DC PrEP DAP

General Information

DC Health offers the Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Drug Assistance Program (DAP), for insured & uninsured HIV negative residents in the DC metropolitan area who are at high risk of HIV infection and are prescribed Truvada as PrEP. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis therapy is a biomedical treatment that can reduce the spread of HIV in high risk populations by taking a pill daily to reduce the risk of HIV-1 infection among adult men and women. Truvada was approved in 2012 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for HIV prevention. PrEP DAP pays the monthly co-pay and deductible (if needed cost) for an eligible participant. Limited funding is available.

Uninsured applicants should contact Gilead’s Advancing Access Patient Assistance Program at 1-800-226-2056 or GileadAdvancingAccess.com prior to applying.
