How much is a 30 day supply of PrEP depends on medication, insurance, and where you live. In the US, the two main oral PrEP options are Truvada generic (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) and Descovy (emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide). Without insurance, generic Truvada 30-day supply can range from $30 to $200 with discount programs like GoodRx or Cost Plus Drugs, while brand name Truvada can be over $1800 and Descovy over $2000 per month at list price. Injectable PrEP Apretude (cabotegravir) is given every 2 months after starter doses and costs over $3000 per injection without coverage. Most people with insurance pay $0 due to Affordable Care Act requirement that PrEP be covered free. Uninsured people can access Ready, Set, PrEP, Gilead Advancing Access, and local health department programs for free. If you are considering PrEP, talk with a primary care provider, sexual health clinic, or pharmacist about cost assistance options in your state.
