I hope this is the right section to ask this question for medical personnel working on base/in recruitment on safe sex/prevention; if not, I apologize!
I've received my offer and I'm currently taking Truvada as PrEP in combination with condoms. I started a little while ago under supervision of my civilian doctor, long after the recruitment medical exam. A few questions:
1. Am I permitted to take medications like PrEP during BMQ or do I have to stop taking it until after BMQ?
2. If I am permitted, what do I need to provide (prescription, note from doctor, etc.) and when (pre-BMQ, upon arrival at BMQ)?
3. Can base pharmacies provide refills for Truvada? I ask because from what I understand, I cannot use civilian doctors/pharmacies once in the CF.
4. Is it covered by the CF health plan?
Please only reply if you understand what PrEP is or have experience with it in the CF. Thank you!
