Ibadan is the seat of Oyo State, home to one of Nigeria’s oldest and most respected teaching hospitals, and a city where HIV prevention services have expanded a lot in recent years. PrEP is accessible in Ibadan through several channels. This guide maps each one so you can pick the route that suits your situation.
Where to access PrEP in Ibadan and Oyo State.
Zivoko, Home Delivery Across Ibadan
Zivoko delivers PrEP across Ibadan and Oyo State on WhatsApp. Our team assesses your eligibility, directs you to a private lab near you for baseline HIV testing and a kidney function check, then dispatches your first supply in discreet, plain packaging. Delivery covers Bodija, Ring Road, Challenge, Agodi, Oluyole, Iwo Road, New Bodija, Jericho, and surrounding areas, same day for most central locations and next morning for outer areas.
Daily oral PrEP (TDF/FTC) is available now and is what most people start with. Lenacapavir injection (twice yearly) is also available now through Zivoko. CAB-LA (every two months) is available on request. Our team recommends the best formulation for your lifestyle and risk. Monitoring reminders and refills are handled through the same WhatsApp channel. Message us to begin.
University College Hospital (UCH), HIV Prevention Clinic
UCH is one of Nigeria’s oldest and most established teaching hospitals, with a comprehensive HIV programme. PrEP is available through the HIV Prevention and Treatment clinic for eligible patients. A doctor or nurse handles the clinical assessment, and a medical laboratory scientist at the hospital lab processes the baseline tests. Oral PrEP is available at subsidised cost under the federal programme for qualifying patients.
UCH is large and busy. Getting through it outside regular clinic hours can be hard, and waits on peak clinic days can be long. The HIV prevention clinic runs mainly on weekdays. If you do attend, go straight to the HIV clinic or the Sexual and Reproductive Health unit and explain you’re seeking PrEP.
Oyo State Government Hospitals
Several Oyo State General Hospitals have HIV prevention services. Ring Road State Hospital and Adeoyo Maternity Teaching Hospital both offer ART and HIV services. PrEP availability at state facilities can be inconsistent depending on programme stock cycles, so call ahead before travelling. A nurse or doctor handles assessment, and the hospital pharmacy dispenses the medication.
PEPFAR-Supported Clinics in Ibadan
Several NGOs with PEPFAR support operate HIV prevention programmes in Ibadan, sometimes including PrEP for specific target populations. The Society for Family Health Nigeria (SFH) has operated in Oyo State and can provide referrals to active PrEP access points. These programmes may provide PrEP at reduced or no cost with peer navigator support and may have more flexible access hours than government hospitals.
Private Hospitals and Clinics in Ibadan
Some private hospitals in Bodija, Oluyole Estate, and the reservation areas stock PrEP or can get it. Availability isn’t guaranteed and experience with PrEP management varies. If you go private, confirm they can manage ongoing monitoring, not just write an initial prescription, before committing.
Where to do your baseline and follow-up tests.
For baseline and quarterly PrEP monitoring in Ibadan, private laboratories are the fastest, most private option. Clina-Lancet has a branch in the city offering 4th generation HIV testing and standard kidney function panels with quick turnaround. Our team will specify exactly which tests you need and recommend the best lab for your location. Results are shared with us on WhatsApp to trigger refills, with no extra clinic visit.
Questions about PrEP access in Ibadan.
QI am a student at UI or Polytechnic Ibadan. Can I access PrEP discreetly?
Yes. Zivoko’s WhatsApp service is fully private and delivers to any address in Ibadan, including student accommodation. Your university, your parents, and anyone in your social circle have no way of knowing you’re on PrEP. The packaging is plain, with no identifying medical branding. Many students use Zivoko specifically because it removes the need for a visible clinic visit in a community where social networks are tight.
QIs injectable PrEP available in Ibadan through Zivoko?
Yes. Lenacapavir injection (twice yearly) is available through Zivoko now. CAB-LA (every two months) is available on request. Message our team to discuss which injectable option suits your situation best.
QCan I get PrEP for free in Ibadan?
Oral PrEP is available free or at heavily subsidised cost at UCH and some Oyo State government hospitals under the federal HIV programme, subject to stock and eligibility.

Contact us for current pricing.
