AccessHealth MA- Access to Prevention
Through Community Resource Initiative’s PrEP (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis) and nPEP (non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis) drug assistance programs, clients gain quick, easy access to medications, with no out-of-pocket cost, which decreases the risk of HIV transmission – before or after a potential exposure.

 

What is PrEP and nPEP?
  • PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), when taken as prescribed prior to sex and/or injection drug use can significantly reduce the risk of contracting HIV. Learn more about PrEP and gain access to medication, through our PrEP drug assistance program (PrEPDAP)
  • nPEP is medication taken within 72 hours after a potential HIV exposure and is a type of antiviral therapy for HIV designed to reduce the possibility of HIV infection. Learn about nPEP and get access immediately

If you or your client may have been exposed to HIV, we can help. Contact us immediately for preventative medication—our staff is always on call.
