Monitoring patients taking HIV PrEP

Australasian Society for HIV Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine (ASHM), 2021

People taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) should attend regular follow-up appointments, at least every 3 months, and be tested for:

  • HIV
  • sexually transmissible infections; see the Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine (ASHM) STI Management Guidelines
  • pregnancy (if applicable).

Assess kidney function 3 months after starting PrEP therapy, and then repeat at least every 6 months.
