Quick Answer: Booking PrEP Appointments Online in Miami-Dade and Broward

Booking a PrEP appointment online takes about five minutes: pick a clinic near your zip code, choose the PrEP and HIV care calendar, fill out a short form, and confirm. This guide from RapidTesting Miami walks you through each step, from Downtown Miami (33130) to Miramar (33029).

PrEP is a medicine that lowers the chance of getting HIV through sex or drug use. It comes as a daily pill or a long-acting shot.

*Resumen en español: Reservar una cita de PrEP en línea toma unos cinco minutos. Elija una clínica cerca de su código postal, escoja el calendario de PrEP y VIH, llene el formulario y confirme.

Pro Tip At our partner clinics, the first PrEP visit is often a telehealth call. You talk with a provider from your phone, then stop by any office for a quick lab draw. Two trips become one short one.

Step-by-Step: How to Book PrEP Appointments Online

Here is the full path, start to finish, plus what to do when a step goes sideways.

Pro Tip Quick answer: pick a clinic by zip, choose the PrEP and HIV care calendar, fill the short form, confirm, then watch for your SMS reminder. If the calendar is full, call the clinic, same-day and walk-in slots often do not show online.

Step 1: Find a Clinic Near Your Zip Code

Start with location. Use the Find a clinic tool at https://www.rapidtestingmiami.com and enter your zip code.

The tool matches you to the nearest partner clinic. You get the address, hours, phone number, and a booking link. A private text code confirms the match.

  • Downtown, Brickell, Overtown: Elite Wellness Club, 33130
  • Allapattah, Little Havana, Wynwood: MedPlus Medical Center, 33142
  • Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood: First Class OBGYN, 33029

If you live in Hialeah or Homestead, the tool points you to the closest partner. Broward readers, including Fort Lauderdale, can head to First Class OBGYN in Miramar.

Step 2: Choose the PrEP and HIV Care Calendar

Every partner clinic lists a PrEP and HIV care calendar. That is the schedule you want, not a general wellness slot.

Pick a time that fits your week. Many clinics offer evening and same-day openings, and walk-ins are accepted, but booking ahead saves waiting.

If no slot fits, call the clinic at 855-560-2280 (or 954-507-4494 for First Class OBGYN in Miramar).

Step 3: Complete the Online Booking Form

The form is short: your name, phone number, and what kind of visit you need.

You do not need to upload records or share insurance details online. The site collects only a phone number for the match, and it is never sold.

  • Choose "new patient" if this is your first PrEP visit
  • Choose "existing patient" if you are already in care
  • Add a note if you prefer a Spanish-speaking provider

If the form errors out, refresh once, then call the clinic. Booking by phone gets you the same appointment and privacy protections.

Step 4: Confirm and Prepare for Your Visit

You get a text reminder with STOP and HELP options. Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or HELP for support. Before the visit, gather your ID and insurance card. If you have no insurance, say so when you book, staff will walk you through free or low-cost options.

Online, Phone, or Walk-In: Which Should You Pick?

All three work. The right one depends on your week and privacy needs.

Booking method Best for Trade-off
Online calendar Planning ahead, evenings, picking your own time Full calendars on short notice
Phone call Same-day slots, questions, language needs May wait on hold at peak hours
Walk-in Urgent timing, no phone or email handy Longer wait, no guaranteed slot

A common pattern at our partner clinics: book online for the first telehealth visit, then call for the lab stop if you need it sooner.

What Happens Right After You Hit Confirm

After you confirm, three things happen in order.

  1. You get a confirmation text with the date, time, and a link to manage the visit.
  2. The clinic reviews your booking and may text or call with a telehealth link or a pre-visit question.
  3. You get a reminder before the visit, with STOP and HELP options.

If no confirmation arrives within a few minutes, check your phone number, then call the clinic.

How to Get PrEP Online: Telehealth and Virtual Options

Many people now get PrEP without a full in-person first visit. A telehealth PrEP appointment happens by video or phone. The provider reviews your history, orders labs, and explains the pill and the shot.

At our partner clinics, you do a virtual appointment first, then a quick lab stop at any office. Your prescription goes to a pharmacy, and some clinics offer delivery.

  • Video visit from home or work
  • Phone appointment if video is not private
  • Online consultation form if you prefer typing
Watch Out Do not start PrEP before your HIV test comes back negative. Starting while an HIV infection is undetected can make treatment harder later. The CDC rule is a negative test within 7 days of starting.

Your PrEP Appointment Checklist: What to Have Ready

Have these ready before your visit to avoid delays.

What to Expect During a Telehealth PrEP Appointment

A telehealth PrEP appointment usually runs 15 to 30 minutes. The provider asks about your health, your HIV risk, and any symptoms. No judgment, just questions.

Expect these parts:

  1. A short health history
  2. A review of your last HIV test and STI screen
  3. A talk about the daily pill and the every-2-month injection
  4. Lab orders for kidney function, hepatitis B, and an STI screen
  5. A plan for your follow-up appointment

The provider explains how PrEP works and what to do if you miss a dose. You leave with a lab slip and a clear next step.

Key Takeaway Book your follow-up before you leave the first visit. The pill schedule is every 3 months with an HIV test and STI screen. Booking early is the best way to stay protected.

How to Reschedule a PrEP Appointment

Rescheduling is easy and does not affect your care, but timing matters more for shots than for pills.

Pro Tip Quick answer: use the link in your confirmation text to pick a new time. If the link is gone, call the clinic. For injection visits, reschedule as soon as you know, a gap of more than about a month can mean restarting the schedule.

Reschedule by Visit Type

Not every PrEP visit reschedules the same way. Use this guide.

Visit type How to move it Timing that matters
Telehealth first visit Use the confirmation link or call the clinic Any time before the call starts
Lab stop after telehealth Call the clinic; labs can often be drawn at any partner office Sooner is better so you can start PrEP
Daily pill follow-up (every 3 months) Use the link or call Keep the HIV test and STI screen on schedule
Injection visit (every 2 months) Call the clinic directly Missing by more than about a month can mean restarting

Step by Step: Move Your Appointment

  1. Open the confirmation text and tap the manage or reschedule link.
  2. Pick a new time on the PrEP and HIV care calendar.
  3. Confirm and watch for a new confirmation text.
  4. If no slot fits, call the clinic and ask about same-day or waitlist options.
  • Reschedule at least 24 hours ahead when you can
  • Call 855-560-2280 for most partners
  • Call 954-507-4494 for First Class OBGYN in Miramar

Links expire and phones get replaced. That is normal and does not cancel your care.

  • Call the clinic and give your name and date of birth
  • Say whether it is a telehealth visit, a lab stop, or an injection
  • Ask for the next available slot on the PrEP and HIV care calendar

Missed an Injection? Read This First

Missing an injection by more than about a month can mean restarting the schedule and the starter doses. Call the clinic the same day you realize you missed it, staff can often fit you in quickly.

Watch Out If you miss a pill dose, follow the plan your provider gave you. If you miss an injection and are not sure what to do, call the clinic before your next scheduled date. Do not guess.

Switching Clinics Without Losing Your Place

You can move your PrEP care to another partner clinic. Call the new clinic, say you are already on PrEP, and ask what they need to continue your prescription. Bring your medication name and last lab date if you have them.

This is health information, not medical advice. Talk with a clinician about your own care. In an emergency, call 911.

Privacy, Cost, and Access: What to Know Before You Book

Privacy questions deserve straight answers. HIPAA covers clinic records, results go through the patient portal, not by text, and clinics do not name tests or results in calls, voicemails, or SMS.

Cost is simpler than most people expect. Many health plans cover preventive services without cost-sharing when billed as preventive care; ask your plan what applies to you.

  • Free to use the clinic finder
  • No credit card needed to book
  • English and Spanish at every partner

Broward readers can reach First Class OBGYN in Miramar for PrEP for women and men, including same-day start after a negative rapid test.

Pro Tip If you work in Miami-Dade but live in Broward, search by the zip code where you actually are that day. The tool matches to location, not billing address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get PrEP through a telehealth visit?

Yes. Many partner clinics offer a telehealth-first PrEP visit. You meet with a provider by video to review your health history and decide whether PrEP is right for you. Then you visit a lab for required bloodwork and a rapid HIV test. The CDC requires a negative HIV test within 7 days before starting PrEP. After that, you can pick up your prescription or have it delivered. Check with each clinic for telehealth availability.

What should I have ready for an online PrEP appointment?

Have your insurance card and photo ID handy, even if you plan to pay out of pocket. Know your current medications and any allergies. Be ready to share your sexual health history honestly. If you use a name or pronouns different from your ID, tell the clinic when you book. Also have a private space for the video visit and a phone number where the clinic can reach you. Most visits take 15 to 30 minutes.

How do I reschedule a PrEP appointment?

Call the clinic directly or use the booking link in your confirmation text or email. Many partner clinics send SMS reminders with a link to reschedule. If you need to cancel, do it at least 24 hours ahead so someone else can take the slot. For injection appointments, reschedule as soon as you know you cannot make it. Missing an injection by more than about a month may mean restarting the schedule.

Is PrEP free with insurance?

Many health plans cover preventive services without cost-sharing when billed as preventive care; ask your plan what applies to you. Check with your plan and the clinic. Uninsured patients can ask about manufacturer assistance programs and sliding-fee scales. Many partner clinics offer free or low-cost testing and PrEP support through public health programs. Always confirm cost details with the clinic before your visit.

Your pharmacy is your choice. You may fill any prescription at the pharmacy you prefer. A clinic may mention pharmacies that offer delivery or lower prices, but using any particular pharmacy is optional and does not affect your care, your insurance, or any assistance you receive.
