The fee covers all exams, vaccinations and procedures in that visit. The full fee is not listed, so a visitor should ask what a self-pay visit costs.
PEP (after HIV exposure)EveryoneAsk the clinic
PEP is covered by Medicaid and most private insurance; patient-assistance programmes may cover the medication for uninsured people. Ask about the cost when you arrive.

Prices are shown in the local currency as stated by the source on the date shown. “Consultation” is often charged separately from tests.
