PrEP Monitoring Panel (Female)

The PrEP Monitoring Panel (Female) is meant for individuals who are taking PrEP medication. The tests in this panel can help you monitor your kidney and liver function while using PrEP. The panel will also tell you your status for certain STDs, including HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. The difference between the PrEP Monitoring Panel (Female) and the PrEP Monitoring Panel (Male) is that the female panel also includes a pregnancy test (qualitative beta hCG).

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (also known as PrEP) refers to medications that can be used to decrease your risk of contracting HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). Examples of PrEP medications include Truvada, Descovy, and Apretude.

Regular lab testing is an important part of your PrEP treatment. It allows your healthcare provider to monitor your health, catch any potential issues early on, and make sure the medication is working as it should be. By staying on top of these tests, you can take control of your health and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

PrEP can be prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider. If you are interested in the PrEP Monitoring Panel, you should work with your healthcare provider to discuss your options, determine the frequency of lab testing, and to see if any additional testing is needed. If you are looking to have lab testing done before starting PrEP treatment, check out the Pre-Medication PrEP Panel (Female).
