PrEP is available in Indonesia, including both daily oral PrEP options. English-speaking specialist care is available in Jakarta through DVX Medical.

This applies whether you are a short-term expatriate, a long-term foreign resident, or someone relocating to Indonesia permanently. Foreigners living in Indonesia, particularly in major cities such as Jakarta, can access PrEP with the clinical evaluation and monitoring that follow international guidelines.

In most cases, yes. If you are already on PrEP and relocating to Indonesia, continuity is achievable. Bring at least a 30-day supply of your current PrEP medication to cover the transition period.

Your doctor will review your current regimen. The specific formulation you have been using may or may not be the same as what is prescribed locally, but clinically appropriate options are available. Any change in formulation is based on clinical evaluation, not convenience.

Whether you are starting PrEP for the first time or establishing care after relocating, the evaluation follows the same clinical process.

Your HIV status must be confirmed as negative before PrEP can be continued or initiated. Kidney function is assessed as a baseline, as the components of PrEP are processed through the kidneys. Your doctor will also review any other medications you are taking and assess your overall health status.

In most cases, this evaluation can be completed in a single consultation, and a prescription can be issued at the same appointment if all results support it.

Ongoing monitoring is part of safe and effective PrEP use. This includes HIV testing every three months to confirm you remain HIV-negative while on PrEP, and periodic kidney function assessments.

Your doctor will establish a monitoring schedule based on your clinical situation. If you have existing monitoring records from elsewhere, bringing them to your first appointment helps establish continuity rather than starting from scratch.
