There are an estimated 900-1,100 people on PrEP in Canada, as of 2018.<ref>[http://www.prepwatch.org/canada/ PrEPWatch: Canada]</ref> According to ACT Toronto, "Any doctor can prescribe PrEP. If you have a family doctor that you feel comfortable with, that is a good place to start. There is ongoing testing and medical care required with PrEP, so accessing PrEP through a doctor that you already have a connection with is ideal."<ref>[http://www.actoronto.org/PrEP/how PrEP - How do I get it?]</ref> CATIE has compiled extensive resources on PrEP for Canadians, which you can check out [http://www.catie.ca/en/prep here].
