PEP in BC
Posted: Sun 11-Jan-2026 8:31 pm
Does anyone know how hard it is to get PEP for free in BC? The 5 day package you get from ER is free but the rest of the 28 day regiment is over 1k based on my conversation with the hospital pharmacy help line.
Had a small cut on inner foreskin after BBFS with someone at SL and I got the 5 day kit the next day. Based on what I am reading you may be able to get it for free if you tell the clinic that you have sex with men/trans but otherwise it looks like you have to pay out of pocket. Not sure if they do an income/asset check of some sort as well to qualify you or if you can just BS your way through it.
