These are the outpatient pharmacies in public hospitals and sexual health clinics in NSW that dispense HIV meds (S100 drugs). In theory, every hospital pharmacy in NSW is authorised to dispense HIV meds, but they only start to stock them if there is local demand. This list includes the main hospital pharmacies that supply HIV meds.
The first time you access the service, you must provide the pharmacy with a prescription from an S100 prescriber (your GP), together with a letter acknowledging that you are entitled to the Prescribed Benefits Scheme (PBS). Please talk to your doctor before going to a new pharmacy for your HIV meds.
Some pharmacies may close on Fridays or prior to a public holiday. If you are running low on your medicines, try to plan ahead. Call your local pharmacy to check whether they are open before you go. If you have difficulty getting your HIV meds, call your pharmacy to see if they can give you some advice.
