Alternative Options During PrEP Shortage in Australia
Are you having trouble getting PrEP at your regular pharmacy?
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has confirmed shortages of HIV prevention medication known as Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Drug suppliers are facing manufacturing issues, commercial changes, and viability concerns, leading to a shortage of PrEP tablets. To address this, the TGA has approved the importation of tablets registered overseas.
Despite the current shortage, HIV diagnoses in Australia have decreased by 33% over the past decade, with a 64% drop among Australia-born gay and bisexual men, indicating the effectiveness of HIV prevention medication like PrEP.
What can I do during the PrEP shortage?
1. Plan in advance
While supplies are limited, it is wise to plan in advance. When you have only one month’s supply left, schedule an appointment with your doctor for sexual health tests and to get your next prescription.
If your local pharmacy is out of stock, you will need to start considering other pharmacies or ordering PrEP from an online supplier. For example, PULSE Clinic is a licensed clinic that offers worldwide shipping so that PrEP and HIV treatment are more accessible and much easier for everyone (especially when you already have a prescription).
2. Try a different Pharmacy
Your regular pharmacy might be out of PrEP. Since pharmacies often use different suppliers, consider visiting another pharmacy if your usual one is out of stock.
3. Purchase PrEP online
If you are struggling to locate PrEP at local pharmacies, consider ordering it online. You can buy PrEP online for personal importation, either with or without a Medicare card. Delivery times can vary from 5 to 10 working days or longer, so make sure to place your order well in advance to avoid running out of PrEP.
If you already have a prescription, you can order PrEP from us now here.
If you have an electronic prescription (eScript), request a paper copy from your doctor instead. To import PrEP, you will need a scanned copy of a paper prescription, as internal pharmacies do not accept eScripts. Without the correct documentation, Customs Officers may delay your package.
If you don’t have a prescription and you’d still like to order PrEP from us, please contact us here:

4. Consider alternative HIV prevention methods
If you’ve already run out of PrEP and are still waiting for your next bottle to arrive, do not panic! You can use other forms of protection during this period, such as:
- Condoms – cheap, affordable, readily available, and straightforward to use
- Undetectable Viral Load (UVL) – when someone maintains an undetectable viral load, there is no risk of transmitting HIV through sex, even without the use of condoms or PrEP. Therefore, if your partner(s) have an undetectable viral load, you are already protected from HIV.
Regardless of which HIV prevention method you choose, it is important to continue getting tested regularly for STIs and HIV.
5. Use PEP in an emergency
If you run out of PrEP and suspect you may have been exposed to HIV, PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is available as an emergency option. It is a 28-day course of medication designed to prevent HIV infection following a potential exposure.
Is PrEP Shortage in Australia Affecting People Using HIV Treatment?
For people living with HIV, the current shortage is limited to TD*/FTC (tenofovir disoproxil and emtricitabine) combinations, which are mainly used for PrEP and PEP. This shortage is not expected to significantly affect those living with HIV, as most people previously using TD*/FTC-based treatments have transitioned to newer options like TAF (tenofovir alafenamide). As of now, there are no reported supply issues with these newer treatments.
