Additional questions you may have
Yes, PrEP is covered for those with a valid Alberta health card.
Freddie covers pharmacy co-pays & dispensing fees to make sure that $0 doesn't increase.
If you’d like to read Canada’s medical guidelines on prescribing PrEP and PEP, you can do so here.
No, you cannot receive PrEP over the counter. You need a prescription first.
To access PrEP, you need to obtain a prescription from an approved medical professional.
Freddie will help you determine if you qualify for PrEP by walking you through the following steps:
- HIV risk assessment: By confidentially discussing your sexual history & health with our LGBTQ2S+ inclusive clinicians, we can determine if PrEP is a fit for your sexual health needs.
- Lab Testing: In order to be approved to start PrEP, testing will need to be performed to confirm you're HIV negative and that your kidneys can healthily tolerate the medication (it's not an issue for the vast majority of people).
PrEP reduces HIV risk by 99% when taken as prescribed, but it does not prevent other STIs.
Condoms, when used consistently and correctly, prevent the transmission of HIV by 98%.
It is recommended to use both PrEP and condoms for maximum protection.
That usually depends on what part of the PrEP journey you’re in.
Just tell your Freddie clinician about any history with PrEP and they’ll guide you through the next steps.
