Other drugs that you can do a prep on demand treatment plan with?

Hi guys, been a little while since I've posted. I'm just starting to get back into the lifestyle after surviving another winter long depression.

 

Anyway here my question. I have not been to a doctor for prep since leaving my last job due to availability reasons. Anyway when I was previously on prep I had a prescription for 

Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets 200mg/300mg before I was placed on discovy. It was all my insurance would cover before I switched jobs and was able to get discovy. Anyway, can I use them as a 3-2-1 method or is that only for discovy and prep?

It's going to be hard to get to the doctor with my slave like work schedule for the short term. I have (1) 3-2-1 dosage of discovy left but I have a bunch of the other left. I wanna start doing to late night runs to the bathhouse in Cleveland and Akron this spring and summer and was curious if I could use them the same way?

Yes I am well aware it would be infinitely easier to just go to the doctor and get a fresh script. But like I said with my current employer you get ZERO time off for the first year, I legit just started accruing vacation time and don't even have enough to start using yet.

Any and all advice is welcomed and well appreciated. 

Much love and many thanks in advance. 👍

The standard on-demand PrEP recommendation for emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil 200/300 is 2-1-1:  First dose 2-24 hours before contact (2 tablets) and 2 subsequent doses at 24 hour intervals (1 tablet each).
