If you’re HIV-negative and there’s any chance a partner could have HIV, PrEP keeps you protected without relying on condoms working every single time. It’s one of the most effective prevention tools in medicine, and in Nigeria you no longer need a hospital visit to start it.

This guide shows you every route to PrEP, city by city. Each city guide covers local public hospitals, NGO-supported clinics that may offer free oral PrEP, and how Zivoko delivery works where you live.

Who PrEP is for

Is PrEP right for you?

PrEP is worth considering if you’re HIV-negative and any of these apply:

  • Your partner is living with HIV and isn’t yet undetectable, or you don’t know their latest viral load.
  • You have more than one partner, or partners whose HIV status you don’t know.
  • You don’t always use condoms.
  • You’ve had an STI in the last six months, or you’ve needed PEP before.
  • You inject drugs or share needles.
Starting PrEP takes one conversation. You’ll need a negative HIV test first, because starting PrEP when HIV is already present can cause drug resistance. Our team arranges the test and the rest on WhatsApp. See the full steps in how to start PrEP in Nigeria.

Common questions

PrEP in Nigeria.

Do I need a prescription or hospital visit to start PrEP?
You need a negative HIV test and a short health assessment before you start, but you don’t need to visit a hospital. Our team handles the assessment on WhatsApp, helps you arrange the HIV test, and delivers PrEP to your address.
Is PrEP free in Nigeria?
Some teaching hospitals and NGO-supported clinics offer oral PrEP free to eligible people, and each city guide above lists the public routes near you. Through Zivoko you pay for the medicine, but you get delivery to your door, no queues, and access to the injectable options. See current PrEP prices.
Can I switch from the daily pill to the injection?
Yes. Many people start on the daily pill and later move to lenacapavir so they no longer need to remember a daily dose. Tell our team and we’ll arrange the switch so there’s no gap in protection.
I’ve just finished PEP. Can I go straight onto PrEP?
Yes, and it’s often the best time to start. If your HIV test is negative when you finish your 28-day PEP course and your risk is ongoing, you can move straight onto PrEP with no gap in protection.
