12‑Month Prescriptions & What It Means for PrEP
The Aotearoa New Zealand Government has announced that from 01 February 2026, some long‑term medicines can be supplied 3-monthly on a 12 month prescription — but PrEP is different.
For PrEP, you’ll still need:
- HIV testing every 3 months
- Kidney checks every 6–12 months
Because of these safety checks, PrEP will continue to be given in 3‑monthly blocks, even if the prescription rules change.
PrEP remains fully funded for those who meet criteria (often just a $5 pharmacy fee).
Staying on top of your 3‑monthly check‑ins keeps you safe and protected.
