Preventing HIV is possible, and at SHIP Clinic, we offer powerful tools to help you stay healthy. Whether you’re looking for ongoing protection or need emergency prevention after potential exposure, we’re here to provide compassionate care and effective solutions.
Understanding PrEP

Is PrEP Right for You? Consider PrEP if you’re at ongoing risk. At SHIP Clinic, we offer risk assessment, HIV testing, baseline and follow-up monitoring, prescription, and ongoing care.
What is PEP?
PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is an emergency medication that can prevent HIV infection after a potential exposure. PEP must be started within 72 hours of the exposure.
When to Consider PEP: PEP is appropriate if you think you may have been exposed to HIV.
At SHIP Clinic, we are committed to providing comprehensive HIV prevention services. Our trained healthcare providers will work with you to determine the best prevention strategy for your individual needs and circumstances.
Don’t wait. Contact our 24/7 hotline or send us an email to learn more about PrEP and PEP and take control of your health. We’re here to answer your questions, provide support, and help you stay safe.

HIV Treatment
In the event of potential HIV exposure, our clinic provides immediate and effective Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). This preventive medical treatment, initiated within 72 hours after high-risk events like unprotected intercourse or needlestick injuries, involves a 28-day course of antiretroviral medications. Tenofovir, emtricitabine, and an integrase inhibitor are commonly used to inhibit HIV replication and prevent its establishment and the onset of a persistent infection. Thorough risk assessments by our healthcare professionals determine eligibility, and regular follow-up appointments monitor treatment effectiveness, including HIV testing and addressing potential side effects. It's crucial to note that while PEP is valuable, consistent preventive measures such as condom use remain essential. Individuals considering PEP should seek prompt medical attention, and our healthcare professionals are ready to provide thorough assessments and guidance.
HIV Prevention
Take proactive steps towards health with our HIV Prevention featuring Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). PrEP involves the daily use of prescription medications, typically a combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine, which work by inhibiting the replication of HIV within the body. This highly effective approach reduces the risk of HIV transmission, especially for individuals at higher risk, such as those in serodiscordant relationships, men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender individuals, sex workers, and injection drug users. During consultations, a thorough risk assessment is conducted to customize a personalized prevention plan. PrEP is recommended as part of a comprehensive prevention strategy, complementing safer sex practices, regular testing, and counseling. Our HIV Prevention services go beyond medication, providing a holistic and tailored approach to safeguarding your sexual health.
