Easy Access to HIV testing, treatment and PrEP

Easy Access logoIt's now easier than ever for you to access HIV testing, treatment, and PrEP. Most private healthcare providers offer these services by appointment or walk-in at a location near you. If you don't have a private provider, use the map below to find low or no cost options for these services.

Going somewhere? Remember to bring PrEP with you! Make a plan with your provider to get on PrEP and stay on PrEP, even when traveling, on vacation, or moving.

Get tested

EHE Strategy
Diagnose all people with HIV as soon as possible.

Get tested regularly. Knowing your HIV status means you can focus your efforts on staying negative, or on getting treatment to stay healthy and become undetectable.

Get treated

EHE Strategy
Treat people with HIV rapidly and effectively to reach sustained viral suppression.

Start HIV treatment right away if you test positive. (see listings for providers under the Medical/Dental/ Pharmacy section). People living with HIV who are successfully treated become virally suppressed and will live long, healthy lives with no risk of sexually transmitting HIV: Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U)

Get PrEP

EHE Strategy
Prevent new HIV transmissions by using proven interventions including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and syringe service programs (SSP).

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), is a pill you can take if you are HIV-negative to reduce your risk of becoming infected with HIV. PrEP will NOT protect against any other STDs. You can get a PrEP prescription from a variety of places. Find a location that is most convenient for you.

If you live in King County, PrEP is available at no-cost. Call 206-744-3954 and speak to a PrEP specialist at the Public Health – Seattle & King County Sexual Health Clinic. They will be able to explain all the options for covering the cost of PrEP that would essentially make it free.

PrEP is covered by most insurance plans. Medicaid (Apple Health) also covers PrEP. Go to wahealthplanfinder.org or call 1-855-923-4633 to find the right insurance plan for you. Drug companies may also provide discounts for PrEP to those who qualify.

If you do not have insurance but want to get PrEP at a lower out-of-pocket rate, visit Cost Plus Drug Company or GoodRx , and search for 'Generic Truvada' to get a discount.
