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.
Get your prescription and then maybe we can help you out find some programs based on the manufacturer or your pharmacist. Get the prescription first.

I found some of these links of r/gaybros
You can apparently go to a pharmacist in Florida for a PEP prescription
