Wisp collaborates with Mount Sinai to expand access to PrEP and HIV prevention across New York State. New Collaboration Connects Telehealth-First PrEP Access with Leading Health System Infrastructure NEW YORK-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Wisp, the largest pure play women's telehealth company in the U.S., today announced a collaboration with the Mount Sinai Health System, one of the largest academic medical systems in the New York metro area, to expand access to PrEP and HIV prevention to sexually active men, women and individuals across New York State. This collaboration is the first fully remote HIV prevention program launched by a New York City medical system - enhancing privacy, convenience, and access to testing that reduces risk of HIV transmission. Barriers such as stigma, limited access to providers, insurance complexity, and distrust of the healthcare system continue to prevent patients from accessing care. Only 36 percent of people who could benefit from PrEP have been prescribed it - despite decades of progress, access remains limited. In 2024, New York City had 1,791 new diagnoses of HIV and the majority came from Black, Latino, and Gay communities. "It's unacceptable that so many people still can't access PrEP, given it is one of the most effective solutions we have today to prevent HIV," said Monica Cepak, CEO of Wisp. "Our digital-first model, combined with Mount Sinai's clinical leadership is creating a more accessible, patient-centered approach to prevention - and not only helping people start PrEP, but stay on it." Wisp's PrEP program is designed to remove the biggest barriers to starting and staying on treatment. The program is covered by most commercial/private insurance, with 99% of patients paying $0, and includes at-home testing options, discreet delivery, and prescriptions available within 24-48 hours of lab results. By making required quarterly testing easier to complete, the model supports long-term adherence, not just initial uptake. "At Mount Sinai, our commitment goes beyond just HIV prevention - we're rethinking how care is delivered across the board to make it more proactive, accessible, and patient-centered," said Nicholas Gavin, MD, MBA, MS, Vice President, Chief Clinical Innovation Officer, and Associate Chief Medical Information Officer for Digital Health of the Mount Sinai Health System. "This collaboration is an extension of that, helping us meet people where they are, remove barriers, and bring evidence-based prevention like PrEP into every day, easy to access care across New York." Mount Sinai's Institute for Advanced Medicine first launched a hybrid tele-PrEP program in 2022 that still required patients to make on-site clinical visits to complete lab work. Mount Sinai now offers fully remote, hybrid, and in-person PrEP care options. Consultations from the HIV prevention program are easily integrated into a patient's comprehensive care at Mount Sinai, ensuring a seamless and holistic approach to preventive and primary care management. "PrEP works best when it fits your life; and now you can start it online, on your own time, at your convenience," said Antonio E. Urbina, MD, Medical Director of the Institute for Advanced Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The collaboration reflects Wisp's expansion beyond direct-to-consumer telehealth to working alongside health systems. By embedding its PrEP program within Mount Sinai's Institute for Advanced Medicine, which provides compassionate care to underserved groups regardless of background, ethnicity, or sexual orientation, Wisp is building a scalable hybrid care model that combines digital access with clinical depth. Launching during Pride Month, the partnership underscores a shared commitment to expanding HIV prevention at a time when public health progress is under pressure.

ADDING MULTIMEDIA: Wisp and Visby Medical partner to provide care with the first fda-authorized at-home PCR STI test. The Largest Women's Telehealth Provider Expands Access to Rapid, High-Quality Sexual Health Solutions NEW YORK-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Wisp, the largest pure play women's telehealth company in the U.S., today announced a partnership with Visby Medical, a leader in rapid at-home PCR diagnostics, in recognition of STI Awareness Week. Through the partnership, the two companies will expand access to Visby's FDA-authorized at-home PCR STI test, with Wisp providing follow-up telehealth care for patients who test positive for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis. According to the World Health Organization, more than one million curable STIs are acquired every day worldwide among people aged 15-49, most without symptoms, which can lead to lasting health effects if left untreated. Nearly 100,000 women in the U.S. lose their fertility each year due to complications from untreated STIs. Recognizing the overlap with their patient populations, Wisp and Visby aim to meet this critical need by making STI testing discreet, accessible, and significantly faster than conventional care pathways. The program will initially be offered through targeted patient outreach, with plans to expand access over time. The palm-sized Women's Sexual Health PCR test delivers lab-quality results in 30 minutes via Visby's mobile app. Patients who test positive are referred to Wisp and receive a complimentary virtual consultation with a licensed Wisp provider, and when clinically appropriate, antibiotics are prescribed immediately - all from the privacy of home. "This partnership came directly from listening to our patients," said Monica Cepak, CEO of Wisp. "Women are asking for faster answers and more seamless next steps. By pairing Visby's FDA-authorized at-home PCR test with Wisp's care model, we're delivering on our mission to support women across every life stage with fast, private, and stigma-free care." Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis are the most common curable STIs and can be treated effectively with antibiotics. Wisp's platform removes barriers to care through secure online consultations with a licensed medical provider, personalized care plans, and confidential treatment pathways. The test is an eligible expense for both FSA and HSA accounts. "By providing timely medical advice through telehealth, the value of the Visby at-home sexual health test significantly increases," said Dr. Gary Schoolnik, Chief Medical Officer at Visby Medical and Professor of Medicine at Stanford Medical School. "This ensures that women who use the Visby test will receive prompt and effective advice and a path to treatment, if indicated." Looking ahead, Wisp and Visby plan to expand access to this integrated testing and care model, reaching more patients nationwide and continuing to reduce the time between diagnosis and treatment. As demand for discreet, at-home healthcare solutions grows, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to reimagining sexual health care with speed, accessibility, and patient-centered design at the core.

Wisp launches women-focused longevity and healthy aging vertical.

The company noted that women represent 80% of autoimmune diagnoses and face disproportionate rates of chronic fatigue and cognitive symptoms during perimenopause and menopause. Wisp serves 1.8 million patients nationwide and offers asynchronous consultations with continuous clinician oversight. Future plans include programmes for mitochondrial support, cognitive health and preventive diagnostics.
