Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Prelib's PrEP Solution if I'm already on PrEP?
Yes, our participating pharmacists can help you monitor your PrEP with the Prelib platform. The PrEP Solution is available and accessible via our online questionnaire, which you can fill in from your MonPrelib account.
Simply mention that you're already taking PrEP when the question is asked in the online questionnaire. You then make a telephone appointment with a participating parmacian to obtain your PrEP prescription.
What happens after I complete the online questionnaire?
After completing the questionnaire and indicating your interest in PrEP, you can schedule a telephone appointment with a participating pharmacist and be guided through the use of PrEP adapted to your needs, if the prescription is recommended and if you so wish.
How will my telephone appointment work?
During your telephone appointment with a participating pharmacist, you'll discuss how PrEP works, check that you can take the medication and that you have no contraindications. The pharmacist will also help you make an informed decision, and explain what to do next, what follow-up you'll need to do, and what your delivery preference is.
Which pharmacies are participating in Solution PrEP?
A list of pharmacies participating in Prelib’s PrEP Solution will be provided to users of this service. These participating pharmacies are aware of 2SLGBTQIA+ realities and have experience with PrEP solutions. This list of participating pharmacies is regularly updated.
What other options are there for accessing PrEP in Quebec?
In Quebec, general practitioners and certain specialized physicians can prescribe PrEP. So talk to your family doctor. If you don't have one, or if you prefer, you can also refer you to sexual health clinics or SIDEP+..
What tests do I have to take?
During your initial check-up, you should be screened for STIs using recommended tests based on your online questionnaire.
In particular, you'll need to undergo an HIV test to confirm that your results are not positive, as PrEP is contraindicated for HIV-positive people. If you test positive, we'll refer you to the appropriate treatment.
If you don't want to take PrEP via OFI's service, you can still book an appointment for STI screening from your MonPrelib file, and then obtain PrEP via the medical clinic and pharmacy of your choice.
Why do I need an initial check-up and a follow-up every three months?
Initial and follow-up screening for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) is used to :
- Validate that you are not HIV-positive. PrEP is contraindicated for HIV-positive people. If you test positive, we'll refer you to the appropriate treatment;
- Detect STIs other than HIV and give you access to appropriate treatment when indicated;
- Evaluate your kidney function to ensure that the medication is safe for you.
You must also follow up with a participating pharmacist every three to six months to :
- Validate that you tolerate the drug well;
- Monitor side effects (especially those related to renal function);
- Plan your next deliveries.
Where can I find my PrEP results and follow-up?
Your test results and all the information related to your file are available on the MonPrelib online platform.
