Eligibility and preparation
A clear first visit starts with the right records and HIV tests. Your clinician decides whether Yeztugo fits your prevention needs.
Possible HIV exposure within 72 hours?
If you may have been exposed to HIV within the past 72 hours, seek urgent medical evaluation now. PEP works best when started as soon as possible. Do not wait for a routine PrEP appointment; go to an emergency department if prompt evaluation is unavailable.
Who can be considered
Yeztugo is FDA-approved to reduce sexually acquired HIV-1 in adults and adolescents who weigh at least 35 kg (77 lb). A person must test negative for HIV before starting. Unknown or positive HIV status is a contraindication. The medicine is not a complete HIV treatment regimen.
A labeled age or weight indication does not confirm that every Nao location treats every age group. Confirm the appointment’s age eligibility and clinical services before traveling.
HIV testing is required
HIV testing is required before starting Yeztugo and before every subsequent injection. The FDA label calls for a test that can diagnose acute or primary HIV infection. At initiation, a negative antigen/antibody result should be confirmed with an HIV RNA test, even if the RNA result arrives after initiation. Before continuation, a negative rapid antigen/antibody test should be confirmed with a more sensitive assay. Your clinician determines the tests and timing.
Tell the clinician about recent exposure, flu-like symptoms, previous HIV results and any recent PrEP or PEP. A single negative test may not exclude a very recent infection. The clinician resolves uncertain results before deciding on treatment.
What to bring
Coverage information
Bring your insurance and pharmacy-benefit cards if you have them. Ask about assistance if you are uninsured; eligibility must be checked.
Visit questions
Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding, upcoming travel, the injection schedule, follow-up testing and the clinic that will receive the medicine.
From evaluation to injection
The Nao team reviews testing and coordinates the prescription, coverage steps and medication delivery to the confirmed clinic. Ask when results will be reviewed and how the team will contact you. Do not assume a clinic listing means same-day stock or walk-in administration.

Questions to discuss before your visit
Can I use my home HIV test?
Bring any results you have, but a home test alone does not replace the clinician-directed tests required before Yeztugo.
Should I stop my current PrEP before the visit?
Do not change or stop your prevention medicine without guidance. Give the clinician your current regimen and last dose or injection date.
Will the first visit include an injection?
Not necessarily. Testing, clinical eligibility, coverage, medication delivery and clinic scheduling must be confirmed first.
