Healthvana, a national leader in digital HIV prevention, has launched Get PrEP, Give PrEP, the first one-for-one program designed to expand access to PrEP for people who do not have insurance. The initiative launched on World AIDS Day and will continue permanently as part of Healthvana’s mission to make HIV prevention more accessible.
The structure of Get PrEP, Give PrEP is simple. When someone with insurance receives PrEP through Healthvana’s telehealth service, the company helps someone without insurance get access to free PrEP care. This support includes medication, required STI testing, lab work, and virtual visits with licensed clinicians. For uninsured patients, the program creates a complete pathway into PrEP care that removes one of the most persistent barriers to prevention. It will operate year-round and scale as more people begin PrEP through Healthvana.
“Ending HIV starts with access and our telehealth enables that anywhere and anytime,” said Ramin Bastani, Founder and CEO of Healthvana. “Get PrEP, Give PrEP allows someone with private insurance to protect themselves while helping someone without insurance stay protected too.”
Healthvana has served nearly 1 million sexual-health patients, delivered over 60 million health records, and partners with public-health departments, researchers, and clinical leaders across the country. Most insured patients pay nothing out of pocket, creating a sustainable foundation for the one-for-one model to grow.
To make onboarding simple, Healthvana has launched StartPrep.com as a dedicated entry point for people who want to begin PrEP through the Get PrEP, Give PrEP program. The site streamlines the process and connects new patients with the support they need to start care quickly.
People interested in beginning PrEP can start at StartPrep.com, and more information about the company is available at Healthvana.com.
