Our Story
Our Story
Founded in 2017, the Music City PrEP Clinic is a sexual health and wellness clinic. Our mission is to get to zero new HIV transmissions in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. Our goal is to provide PrEP or HIV Care to each patient at no cost or at the lowest cost possible regardless of income or insurance status. Our services include discreet, lab testing for HIV and bacterial STDs, plus hepatitis A, B, and C testing.
If you live in Tennessee but aren’t close to Nashville, we can still serve you through telemedicine without your needing to come to our clinic in-person at any point. Ask a Music City PrEP representative for details.
