What is
Brooklyn is
PrEP'd?

Brooklyn is PrEP’d! is a powerful collaboration between the HEAT Program at SUNY Downstate and the PATH Center at The Brooklyn Hospital Center. Since 2016, we’ve worked side by side to ensure Brooklyn—and beyond—has access to free, affirming, and expert-led PrEP services.

Whether you want a daily pill or a once-every-two-month shot, we’ve got you covered. Our mission is to empower youth, LGBTQAI+ communities, people of color, and anyone who wants to take control of their sexual health.

Robust Protection for Everyone

Whether you're straight, gay, lesbian, transgender, black, Latino, or from any other community, PrEP offers robust protection against HIV. When taken correctly, it reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99%

An Inclusive Shield

PrEP is for everyone at high risk of HIV, regardless of your sexuality or race. It's a universal shield, offering peace of mind and control over your health.  PrEP is typically taken once daily. However, your doctor can provide specific instructions based on your health needs.

Freedom and Empowerment

PrEP, whether as a pill or injectable, is more than just a method to stay HIV negative - it's a commitment to your health, future, and peace of mind. No matter who you are or where you hail from, PrEP hands you the reins of control. Embrace the power of PrEP today!"

 Universal Accessibility

 PrEP is accessible to all, covered by most insurance plans, Medicaid, and other programs. No matter who you are or where you come from, PrEP is within reach.

Complementary ProtectioN

 PrEP works with other protective methods like condoms, providing an added layer of security for all. This combined approach to protection creates a comprehensive safety net, offering peace of mind and empowering individuals to take control of their sexual health.

YOUR CHOICES

PrEP is available in two main forms: oral and injectable. The oral form comes as a pill. These pills are taken daily for continuous protection against HIV. On the other hand, the injectable form of PrEP, is a long-acting option. It's given as an injection every eight weeks, offering a convenient alternative for those who prefer not to take daily medication.
