Sooooo I failed to do my due diligence while using Grindr, and partway through I realized my top had taken off the condom.

I work an okayish job, and my insurance card gets shipped in a few days with an affordable co-pay.

Cursory googling shows that the window to begin PEP is on a shorter clock than my insurance card arriving. I have never been to a planned parenthood before (there's one in my city), and am anxious about it, but less anxious about medical debt than dying from 3x covil + HIV immunosuppression.

I'm feeling real shitty about losing most of the incoming paycheck to medication costs, though I still feel pretty numb about getting dateremovedd.

How much will it cost? If it's 3 digits I can eat it with some pain, but if it's four it would compromise my food security.

If you have insurance but don’t have the card yet, a large chain pharmacy can likely find your insurance info themselves without a card. A few months ago I needed my meds while I was waiting for a card after switching insurance, and CVS was able to just look me up.
