Facility information in the PrEP Locator database
The PrEP Locator database was created by Emory University. More information on data collection can be found here. In 2016, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Prevention Information Network (NPIN) and Emory integrated data to provide a single database, which NPIN maintained. In 2025-2026, PrEP Locator was updated with new data features, a dataset that is now hosted and maintained by PrEPLocator.
Facilities will be updated, added, or removed from the PrEP Locator database through several mechanisms. PrEP Locator staff will communicate with facilities in the database on a regular basis to update their information. Organizations can go here to enter their clinic’s data to be newly added to the database or to update their organizational information.
Facility eligibility for being entered into the Locator database
The Locator database includes both public and private healthcare providers willing to prescribe PrEP. Each entry in the database represents a single “facility” location, with eligible facilities including clinics, multiple provider practices, and single-provider practices. Vetting of the database includes verifying clinic self-reported key data fields, such as website, phone number, address, and willingness to prescribe PrEP. Such verification may be conducted through phone calls and/or electronic surveys.
Data limitations
Emory does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, apparatus, product, or process disclosed in abstracts or documents available from the NPIN website.
