I’m a health care professional, can I add my clinic to the Locator database?

How does the PrEP Locator widget work?

The PrEP Locator uses a map locator to show data regarding your location and clinics nearest to you.  When you type in an address or zip code, the map will populate with the pins of the providers or clinics in that area that prescribe PrEP. There is the option to further narrow the search using the filter options. 

Does the Locator widget work on mobile and desktop devices?

Yes, the widget is compatible on desktop (map and list views) and mobile (list view only) devices. 

I found incorrect information for a clinic in the Locator database. Can I fix it?

Yes! Please send an email to preplocator@emory.edu to submit any changes. We request that you indicate whether you are a patient or clinic staff. If staff, please indicate your role.

Why are only clinics listed, and not my preferred provider at a clinic?

The Locator uses map-based location information to help patients find providers. If we listed each provider at a facility, it would be confusing and difficult to maintain the database, so it is necessary to have a single facility listed per geographic site.

How did you find providers for the Locator database?

The database includes available data from all 50 states, as well as US territories. For more information, check our resources here and here.

How do providers remove their clinics from the Locator database?

Please send an email to preplocator@emory.edu to request removal if a clinic is no longer prescribing PrEP. We request that you indicate whether you are a patient or clinic staff. If staff, please indicate your role.
