Urgent: Pharmacies that sell HIV PrEP in Bangkok (Sukhumvit area)


Sandboxer

Recommended Posts

Urgently need to refill my PrEP (forgot to pack it) upon arrival in Bangkok/Sukhumvit tomorrow.

 

I know I can go to clinics such as Pulse but they require, not sure if for legal reasons or just to add revenue, the customer to do a mandatory test/labs/exam etc. which I do not need as my latest test was yesterday and I'd rather avoid paying for unnecessary services.

 

Any pharmacies (or clinics that are a little more "flexible" ) in the Sukhumvit area that will sell me any of the PrEP brands (Truvada, or Ricovir/Teno EM)?

Pulse, if you show them your "yesterday's test", it'll cost you about THB 1300. That's all. 

 

And tell them Ben loves them.

Thanks.

 

It was an Abbot self test kit. Do you think they will accept a pic of me holding it next to my face (all pics taken on smart phone contain metadata that shows date/time etc.), or does it have to be lab-issued/paper document?

Honestly I don't know. But if you are desperate, just go talk to them, they are totally approachable. But are you on daily PREP? or on demand?

 

In case you were a newbie, having someone to explain things can help. 

 

Oh I forgot, there are two absolutely essential tests to have: HIV and Kidney function. You don't want to damage your kidneys, and when kidneys are slow the concentration of medicine in the body increases.

On demand, and only needed about 3-5 times a year as I otherwise live a fairly "responsible" life, so not too worried about kidney/liver and my markers all looked good after last year's blood panel.

 

Thanks again~~will message Pulse.

always practice safe sex. and if one is not promiscuous,  then the risk is almost zero. 

 

1. The risk is also almost zero with PrEP.

 

2. Some of us, for a myriad of reasons, simply cannot get/sustain an erection with a condom. 

 

3. Being faithful to one's spouse/partner is a nice ideal in Unicornworld, but the majority of humans fail at it.

Every aspect of life in Thailand is an elevated risk compared to 1st world western countries. Traffic, guns/knife violence, diseases, etc.

 

Mitigating those risks as best as we individually can is just common sense. For me, PrEP is a logical way to mitigate (by 99%) one occasional risk aspect of my life.
