Can a visitor use it?

Check with the clinic before you go — The Ministry of Health says foreign tourists can use the public urgent-care network free of charge (see the city note); the city's pages do not say what this post asks of a visitor.

About

A free city HIV prevention post inside República metro station that is open in the evening, Tuesday to Saturday until 23:00, for rapid HIV tests, PEP and PrEP when the daytime clinics are shut.

This clinic doesn’t advertise itself as LGBTQ+ friendly. Most clinics don’t, so this isn’t a sign that it’s unwelcoming. If you’ve been, tell us how you were treated.

Brazil: good to know

  • What visitors pay. Brazil's Ministry of Health says a foreign tourist with a health problem can also seek care in the urgent-care network of the public health system (SUS), including SAMU ambulances on 192 and 24-hour UPA units, and that these services are free. The page does not list any documents a tourist must show.
  • PEP in this country. The Ministry of Health says PEP is offered free of charge by the SUS, must start within 72 hours of the exposure and is taken for 28 days. São Paulo's city health department lists more than 100 units that give PEP, including the municipal testing centres (CTA) and specialised services (SAE) on weekdays 7:00–19:00, the Estação Prevenção inside República metro station (Tuesday to Saturday 17:00–23:00), and emergency units such as UPA Vergueiro and AMA Sé in the centre.

Emergency number: 192
