United States: good to know

PEP in this country. Howard Brown Health offers PEP on a walk-in basis at several clinics (call 773-388-1600 in opening hours). It says PEP is covered by Medicaid and most private insurance, and that patient-assistance programmes may cover the medication for uninsured people; no price for visitors is published. PEP must start within 72 hours.
