EmblemHealth and ConnectiCare honor World AIDS Day Dec. 1 by focusing on prevention and offering you support in caring for our members who have HIV/AIDS.
HIV/AIDS Prevention – PrEP
HIV PrEP is a preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). It may protect patients against HIV, even if their partner has HIV. Here are a few resources for you and your patients:
- CDC HIV PrEP Resources
- NYSDOH Online Resources for Education, Information, and Services
- HIV/AIDS Services in Connecticut
We ask our New York providers to consider registering for inclusion in the New York State Department of Health PrEP Prescribers directory.
