Medications & Prevention Support
VURA helps patients understand and access medication options for sexual health, HIV prevention, and STD/STI care.
Medication decisions should always be made with a licensed healthcare provider based on your test results, symptoms, exposure, medical history, allergies, pregnancy status, kidney and liver health, and other medications.
HIV prevention medications
STI treatment medications
Treatment depends on the infection. VURA can help with testing, results review, prescriptions when appropriate, and follow-up care for infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and other conditions.
Doxy-PEP: ask if it’s right for you
Doxy-PEP is doxycycline taken after sex to reduce the chance of certain bacterial STIs in selected patients. CDC recommends that gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, and transgender women, who had syphilis, chlamydia, or gonorrhea in the past 12 months be counseled about Doxy-PEP through shared decision-making with a provider.
Doxy-PEP is not for everyone. A provider can help decide whether it is appropriate.
