A gay lifestyle brand has today launched a digital health platform that it says will offer a “faster, stigma-free alternative” to waiting lists for PrEP.
Fetch is teaming up with online pharmacy Evaro to bring the LGBTQ+ community “discreet, clinician-reviewed online consultations, prescriptions and next-day treatment delivery” through its new service Fetch Health.
The company said the partnership comes as NHS sexual health services “face acute strain”, citing a 2025 report that found only 40% of level 3 sexual health clinics “can offer appointments within the recommended 48-hour target”.

It added that customers using the service can complete an online consultation at home, have their case reviewed by a registered clinician, and receive their treatment “often next-day”, reducing the need for a GP referral.
The platform offers a range of health services alongside PrEP, including testosterone replacement therapy, erectile dysfunction medication and weight loss treatment.
“Future of healthcare access”
Evaro CEO Dr. Thuria Wenbar said that “embedding regulated healthcare” into the LGBTQ+ community means people can be reached “who might otherwise go without”.
“For something as critical as PrEP, which has waiting times of up to 12 weeks for an appointment, that has real consequences,” she added.
“This is what the future of healthcare access should look like.”

Fetch co-director and owner Mark Lawrence said incorporating healthcare into the brand “felt like both a natural and necessary step”.
“Nobody should have to wait three months for PrEP, or feel they have to justify themselves to get it,” he added.
“Fetch Health is about making sure our community can get the care they need without making the choice between waiting months for an appointment or walking into a clinic that for many still feels like an unwelcoming experience”.

It comes after Evaro was one of three online pharmacies named in the Sunday Times’ list of the 100 fastest-growing tech companies in the UK.
And it follows the Terrence Higgins Trust calling on the government to make PrEP available through community pharmacies in England.
