Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Prelib's PrEP Solution if I'm already on PrEP?
Yes, our participating pharmacists will be able to follow up with you on your PrEP using the Prelib platform. The PrEP Solution is available and accessible through our online questionnaire, which you can fill out from your MonPrelib file.

You simply need to mention that you are already taking PrEP when asked in the online questionnaire. You will then make a phone appointment with a participating pharmacist to get your PrEP prescription.
What are the steps after completing the online questionnaire?
After completing the questionnaire and indicating your interest in PrEP, you can schedule your phone appointment with a participating pharmacist and be guided on the use of PrEP tailored to your needs, if a prescription is recommended and you wish to proceed.
How will my phone appointment go?
During your phone appointment with a participating pharmacist, you will discuss how PrEP works, check that you can take the medication and that you have no contraindications. The pharmacist will also offer you support so that you can make an informed decision, and will explain what to do next, the follow-ups required, and determine your delivery preference.
Which pharmacies participate in the PrEP Solution?
A list of pharmacies participating in Prelib's PrEP Solution will be provided to service users. These participating pharmacies are aware of 2SLGBTQIA+ issues and have experience with PrEP solutions. This list of participating pharmacies is updated regularly.
The other options for accessing PrEP in Quebec are: * **Through a doctor or nurse practitioner:** You can ask your regular doctor or a nurse practitioner to prescribe PrEP. They will assess your eligibility and can provide you with a prescription. * **At a sexual health clinic:** Several sexual health clinics across Quebec offer PrEP services. These clinics are often staffed by healthcare professionals experienced in sexual health and can provide testing, counseling, and prescriptions. Some well-known clinics include: * Clinique L'Actuel (Montreal) * Maison Plein Soleil (Montreal) * CAPAHC (Montreal) * Le CLSC (local community service center) healthcare professionals in your area may also be able to help. * **Through a specialized PrEP program:** Some programs are specifically designed to facilitate access to PrEP. These programs may offer additional support and resources. It's recommended to contact a local sexual health clinic or your doctor to discuss your specific situation and find out which option is best for you. They can guide you through the eligibility criteria and the process for obtaining PrEP.
In Quebec, general practitioners and certain specialists can prescribe PrEP. So you can talk to your family doctor about it. If you don't have one or if you prefer, you can also contact sexual health clinics or a SIDEP+.

What tests do I have to take?
During the initial assessment, you should screen for STIs with tests recommended based on your completed online questionnaire.

You will need to undergo HIV screening to confirm that your results are not positive, as PrEP is contraindicated for HIV-positive individuals. If you receive a positive result, we will refer you for appropriate treatment.

If you do not wish to take PrEP through the OFI service, you can still make an STI screening appointment through your MonPrelib account, and then obtain PrEP through the medical clinic and pharmacy of your choice.
Why do I need an initial check-up and a follow-up every three months?
The initial assessment and follow-ups for screening of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) are used to:
- Confirm that you are not HIV-positive, meaning you do not have HIV. PrEP is contraindicated for HIV-positive individuals. If you receive a positive result, we will refer you to the appropriate treatment.;
- Detect other STIs besides HIV and provide you with access to appropriate treatments when indicated;
- Evaluate your kidney function to ensure the medication is safe for you.
You must also follow up with a participating pharmacist at a frequency of three to six months to:
- Validate that you tolerate the medication well.;
- Monitor for side effects (particularly related to your kidney function);
- Plan your next deliveries.

Where can I find my PrEP results and case tracking?
Your screening test results and all information related to your file are available on the online platform MonPrelib.
