* You can find '''PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis)''' in Finland, but most people access it in other countries, like Germany or Sweden, and bring it back to Finland. This is because PrEP is not currently subsidized by the government, as of 2018, so most people find it unaffordable (about 800 euros per month, as of 2018). Meanwhile, if people purchase PrEP in other EU countries, they can expect to pay around 50-70 euros per month.<ref>[https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/finns_buying_hiv_prevention_drugs_from_germany_because_theyre_cheaper/10278286 Finns buying HIV prevention drugs from Germany because they're cheaper]</ref> <ref>[https://miestenkesken.fi/en/prep/ Checkpoint - PrEP]</ref> | |||
