Stay protected with HIV PrEP

Adults without HIV who have a higher chance of exposure. The doctor reviews your answers to see whether it suits you.

Yes. An HIV test and a kidney function test are needed before you start, and again at regular intervals.

PrEP does not replace PEP. If you had a possible HIV exposure in the last 72 hours, you may need post-exposure prophylaxis today, so go to an emergency department or health centre now. Flu-like symptoms after an exposure can also be a sign of early HIV and need urgent testing before PrEP is considered.

You upload a negative HIV test from the last 7 days, and the doctor reviews your kidney function, hepatitis B status, STI screening and other medicines. Pregnancy, known kidney disease or reduced kidney function mean specialist in-person care instead. If something is missing, the doctor tells you which test to take before PrEP can be prescribed.

Some people have nausea, headache or an upset stomach in the first weeks, which usually settles. Less often it can affect the kidneys or bone density, which is why kidney function is checked regularly. If you have hepatitis B, stopping PrEP suddenly can cause a flare of the liver infection, so talk to the doctor before you stop.

No. PrEP lowers the chance of getting HIV, but it does not protect against chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis or other infections, or against pregnancy. Condoms still help with these. Regular STI testing is part of your follow-up while you take PrEP.

While you take PrEP, you need an HIV test, STI screening and a kidney function check at least every 3 months. You arrange the tests, share the results in the private chat, and the doctor decides whether to continue. Do not keep taking PrEP without this follow-up.

The consultation is €35, one-off, with no subscription. If a prescription is issued, the medicine is paid at your pharmacy.

You receive a full refund, and the doctor explains why in your account.

We offer six focused consultation pathways. Choose the one that best matches your symptoms or situation:

Every sexual-health pathway is a €35 one-off consultation. Sexual health is not included in a subscription. A doctor's review arrives in less than 2 hours on average; this is an average, not a guaranteed response time. Medication is paid for separately at the pharmacy if prescribed.

The most common are PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, avanafil). In specific cases topical alprostadil is used. The doctor selects the most suitable option based on your history, current medication, and lifestyle.

These are medications with decades of clinical use and generally well tolerated. But they are contraindicated if you take nitrates or have severe cardiovascular disease. That's why the questionnaire explicitly asks about cardiac medication. It's not a formality.

Yes. Topical alprostadil is a second-line option. In resistant cases, the doctor may recommend an in-person urology referral to evaluate other causes (hormonal, vascular, psychological).

Fully. All communication happens through the private chat on your account. We send nothing by postal mail with the Hi-Doctor name visible; the prescription is digital.

Yes, it's one of the reasons we ask for a detailed cardiovascular history. Erectile dysfunction can be an early sign of cardiovascular disease, and sometimes an in-person check-up is advisable before treating it only pharmacologically.
