How to Get PrEP in Florida
You can start PrEP in Florida without ever sitting in a waiting room: online consult, the required HIV test, a prescription, and delivery in about a week. Here's the exact route, what it costs, and who prescribes in your state.
The short version for Florida
- Telehealth PrEP is fully available in Florida — consult, labs, and prescription all happen remotely.
- With insurance, PrEP is usually $0 including lab work; without it, generic Truvada is about $20–30/month.
- Timeline: consult today, labs within days, medication in hand in roughly a week.
The fastest route in Florida
Our reviewing clinical team at The Practice is licensed to prescribe in Florida by telehealth. That means a real clinician-reviewed path: consult, labs, prescription, and ongoing 3-month follow-ups, all from home.

What PrEP costs in Florida
Under the ACA, PrEP is preventive care: most insurance plans — including many Medicaid plans — cover the medication, the HIV test, and the follow-up labs at $0 out of pocket. Florida has not adopted ACA Medicaid expansion, which leaves some low-income residents in the coverage gap. If that's you, don't assume PrEP is out of reach: manufacturer copay and patient-assistance programs, the federal Ready, Set, PrEP program for the uninsured (check current enrollment status), and low-cost telehealth routes can bring the real price close to $0. See every way PrEP ends up free or cheap.
Paying cash? Generic Truvada (tenofovir DF/emtricitabine) is typically $20–30 per month at discount pharmacies, and Gilead's copay program covers most insured patients' remaining costs. The full breakdown is in PrEP costs & insurance.
Prefer to see someone in person in Florida?
Telehealth is the fastest option for most people, but in-person care makes sense if you want same-day labs, need help with insurance, or want Apretude, the every-other-month injection, which must be given in a clinic. To find a provider near you, use the HIV.gov services locator or search for "PrEP clinic" plus your city — county health departments and community health centers across Florida frequently offer PrEP at low or no cost.
