PrEP Online in Quebec: Your Prescription, Simplified

PrEP, simplified: Our pharmacists prescribe your prevention, without the detours

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is globally recognized as an effective method for preventing HIV. Despite its effectiveness, PrEP uptake remains suboptimal. According to a study published in the CMAJ Open journal, less than a quarter of Canadian men for whom PrEP is recommended had used it. Furthermore, in 2021, Canada recorded 1,472 new HIV cases, marking an 11.3% increase from the previous year. These alarming statistics underscore the urgency to act.

The accessibility problem

At the pharmacy, we have also observed that accessing PrEP is fraught with obstacles. The few clinics and healthcare professionals willing to prescribe this treatment are often overwhelmed. Many patients must wait more than a month for an initial or follow-up appointment, which discourages many. PrEP requires informed medical support, and it is wise to choose a team of healthcare professionals who possess in-depth expertise on the subject.

Our solution: an all-in-one, patient-centered service

To eliminate these barriers, we have developed a comprehensive service that gives you back control. Our online clinic, Tou+PrEP, allows you to manage your access to PrEP from A to Z—from the initial consultation to the delivery of your medication and including follow-up.

A simple three-step journey

1. Consultation with our pharmacists
Consult our experts via a free teleconsultation (phone or video). We assess your needs, answer all your questions, and if PrEP is right for you, we can issue your prescription.

2. Screening at your convenience
You are completely free to choose the screening center that works best for you (CLSC, specialized clinic, youth clinic, etc.). to simplify the process, we can write and send you the requisition for the required blood tests, which you will only need to present at your appointment.

3. Discreet delivery anywhere in Quebec
Once your health assessment is complete, we deliver your PrEP free of charge, in discreet packaging, wherever you are in Quebec. You only need to travel when it's essential—for your screenings.

Accessing PrEP should not be a headache! Our pharmacists are dedicated to providing affirmative and personalized care.
