Providers

HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, known as PrEP, is the preventive use of medication by people without the virus who have a higher likelihood of exposure. Its purpose is to reduce the risk of acquiring the infection.

How does it work? It's a preventive strategy accompanied by periodic testing and follow-up; it doesn't replace other protective measures.

Who prescribes it? It's assessed and supervised by the infectious disease specialist or the general practitioner. Since it requires individual evaluation and monitoring, it's best to see a professional who can determine whether it's right for you and how to follow up.

Before you book

Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.

El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
