PrEP is short for ‘Pre-Exposure-Prophylaxis’. The concept is familiar to other preventive methods:
People get vaccines to avoid getting sick. Vaccines are in that way also a type of PrEP.
Women take the contraceptive pill before having sexual contact.
People take antimalarial pills before travelling to malaria endemic countries.

In the case of HIV PrEP, HIV negative people take HIV inhibitors to prevent contracting an HIV infection. However, PrEP does not guarantee full protection against HIV, least of all against other STIs.

For officials and agents covered by the Joint Sickness Insurance Scheme (JSIS)
UPDATE as of 17 January 2025:

PreP is refunded at 85% as long as you have a prescription, with a ceiling of 1 tablet per day. You request refund as usual through JSIS online with the receipt from the pharmacy, showing that you have had the PreP prescribed.
If the receipt does not show that the PreP was prescribed, upload the prescription with your refund claim.

Prior authorisation is no longer required. If you get an error message when trying to claim via JSIS Online, then please use the MyPMO method instead. JSIS Online will be corrected shortly.

For interns and Blue Book Trainees, the Allianz insurance scheme DOES NOT REFUND PreP as preventative healthcare is not covered. A box of 30 pills in Belgium costs about EUR150.
