If you are restarting PrEP but you have an old lab requisition, unfortunately you can’t use it. Clinical protocols mean that you have to follow the same testing process as someone starting PrEP for the first time.
It’s important to follow all these steps because we have to confirm that you’re HIV-negative before you start PrEP again. Lab tests also make sure that your kidney function is in the normal range and PrEP is safe for you.
If you are nearly due for a refill, please wait to receive your new lab requisition before you head to the lab. If you are running low on pills but have not yet received a notification that your new lab requisition has been sent to you, please reach out to our care team to notify them.
