PrEP Clinic: PrEVENTING HIV

The PrEP Clinic at St. Mary's accepts most insurance, including Medi-Cal.

Simple Steps to get PrEP:

  • Ask your provider to contact UCSF Health St. Mary's Hospital for a PrEP referral: oral tablets once a day OR ventrogluteal injection six times a year. If your provider needs to learn how to make a referral, contact the pharmacists Gary or Julia: 415-750-5717 or 415-750-5635, who will coordinate care.
  • Once the referral is made, St. Mary's will contact you to make an appointment to establish care at the clinic and confirm eligibility.
  • For patients who have private insurance, please obtain a copay card from the manufacturer: Apretude OR Descovy
  • Therapy can begin once eligibility is confirmed.
  • This process may take several weeks
