While we strive to serve as many patients as possible, virtual care may not be a good fit for you if:
‍

• If you are under 18 years of age

• If your CD4 count is less than 200 and not currently on treatment

• If you have untreated tuberculosis or active cancer

• If you are or have a chance of being pregnant

If you have health insurance, HIV+ medications are likely available to you for free, as the Affordable Care Act mandates that most health insurance plans provide PrEP at no cost. Freddie partners with Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to provide clinical services related to PrEP – such as consultations, lab tests, and prescription delivery – for free as well.

Freddie is currently available to residents of Arizona, California, Florida, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

No! Freddie’s virtual HIV+ care program is for anyone living with HIV, no matter your gender, sexuality or body type. Our skilled clinicians can provide care for the entire HIV community.

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system and lowers the body’s natural defence against illness and disease.

HIV is a lifelong condition. It can be managed with effective treatment, but right now there isn't a cure.

There is a risk of HIV being transmitted only when one of the following fluids enters the bloodstream of somebody else. This can be through broken skin (e.g. injecting drugs, cuts or sores) or a mucous membrane (in the rectum, vagina, and penis):
‍

• Blood

• Anal fluids

• Vaginal fluids

• Breastmilk / Chestmilk

• Semen / Pre-cum

Transmission can occur through: broken skin, penis opening, vagina, rectum, and foreskin.
