Answers to common questions

Curious about how Healthvana works, how to start care, or how we keep your information safe? This page walks you through it all. You’ll also find helpful details about telehealth visits, PrEP, DoxyPEP, STI testing, and our AI Navigator.
What is Healthvana?
Getting Started

Healthvana is a telehealth service that helps people get free or low-cost PrEP, DoxyPEP, and STI testing and treatment online. Our goal is simple: make prevention easy to start and easy to stay on. Most people pay nothing out of pocket, and visits take only a few minutes. When an insured patient gets PrEP through Healthvana, their visit helps us provide free care to someone who is uninsured through our one-to-one model.

Who can use Healthvana?
Getting Started

Anyone who needs PrEP, DoxyPEP, STI testing, or follow-up care can use our platform. We serve people nationwide, including those in rural communities, people assigned female at birth, people with insurance, and people without insurance.

Is Healthvana available in all states?
Getting Started

Yes. Our telehealth services reach people in all 50 states, though specific treatment options may vary based on local regulations.

How do I start my visit?
Getting Started

You start by answering a few questions online. Our clinical team reviews your visit and guides you through the next steps. If labs are needed, you can test at home or at a nearby clinic.

How long does it take to get medication?
Getting Started

Most people receive medication within a few days. Delivery is discreet and shipped directly to your address.

Do I need insurance to use Healthvana?
Getting Started

No. If you have insurance, most services cost nothing. If you do not have insurance, our one-to-one model helps support your care, and many people still pay nothing.

What is included with my visit?
Getting Started

Your visit includes clinical review, follow-up messages, access to our AI Navigator, and support from our care team. If labs or medication are required, we help coordinate those steps.

How does Healthvana’s one-to-one model work?
One-to-One

When someone with insurance gets PrEP through Healthvana, their visit helps us cover the cost of PrEP and STI testing for someone who is uninsured. One person gets protected, and another gains access they may not have had.

Who qualifies for support through the one-to-one model?
One-to-One

People without insurance, people with limited or no coverage, people assigned female at birth needing HIV prevention, and people in rural towns with few or no local resources.

Does using Healthvana automatically help someone else?
One-to-One

If your visit is covered by insurance, yes. Your care directly contributes to giving someone uninsured access to prevention and testing.
