The US government's test-to-treat website is live, and looks excellent. You can find
information and participating locations at:
https://aspr.hhs.gov/TestToTreat/Pages/default.aspx
It looks like every pharmacy, clinic, and hospital is listed. Searching by location returns a list of places where you can be tested for covid and get Paxlovid or molnupiravir if you test positive, and a much longer list of pharmacies etc. that will fill your doctor's prescription for one or both of those treatments.
The search returns sites that are within X distance of your location, and it's fine-grained. It defaults to ten miles, but you can increase or decrease that radius, in tenth-of-a-mile increments. They only list sites in the US, including Puerto Rico but not, as far as I can tell, Guam or the US Virgin Islands.
The treatments available at each location are listed: both Paxlovid and molnupiravir are available, although not necessarily at the same locations.
This is a HUGE leap forward from the convoluted and unworkable procedure that was in place 2 months ago when I asked my doctor about it.
The Federal Government has a Test-to-Treat program. You can find
information and participating locations at:
https://aspr.hhs.gov/TestToTreat/Pages/default.aspx
There's at least one, possibly two, anti-virals specific to COVID
available. The sooner you start taking them, the better.
Test-to-Treat is basically 'walk in, get tested, get treatment if
you're positive'.
