All the clinics I’ve been calling/emailing have been quoting circa £500 in London, isn’t it just a one month course, confused as to you mentioning a monthly cost? Cheers bud
I have no idea if links are allowed so google prep hiv - the top link should be to a site called 'i want prep now' - my prices are from their list of where to buy it from.
I believe, in some circumstances, in some places, it is also possible to get it on the NHS.
As to duration - most people who use prep do so coz of ongoing 'risky' practices - how long you would need to take it for a one off I don't know, probably for as long as needed to be sure you're clear of HIV. However long GUM tells you is needed for that.
Use google - in between all the ads there is occasionally useful information relating to what you're trying to find out
ETA - I've done some more reading - 7 days is the recommended time after sex, however prep may not be useful in that it's supposed to be taken before sex to have it your system in case of any transmission - so dunno. Given that I'd ask GUM if it will have any effect before spending anything, if they say no then they are probably correct - the private clinics are just out to make money so, as long as they don't think it will do any harm, they will be happy to take your money in exchange for something that may be unnecessary and ineffective.
