HIV PrEP

So every 3 months I need to see my doctor for my PrEP medication and swabbed for STIs (orally & anally). They are only available 9am to 4pm during the week. I obviously have to physically go in for the swabs. I know the American Disability Act protects those with an HIV infection. But I do NOT have HIV and take PrEP to prevent it as I’m a gay man and my community is more at risk for HIV. So I guess the ADA doesn’t protect me. If I need to come to work later or leave work early, I should be able to do so, correct? It’s every three month checkups and missing 2-3 hours max of the work day. I’d use my sick time… I have no problems there. But they can’t not hire me for a little accommodation like this, right?
