Although there has been a significant decline in the number of new HIV infections in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are still over 36,000 new HIV infections occurring annually. Effective interventions, such as HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) have been available but are under-utilized. Primary care providers play an integral role in screening and identifying persons who would benefit from PrEP. This presentation will review the most recent clinical guidelines on the use of PrEP, best practices for managing patients on PrEP, and will detail the newest options in biomedical HIV prevention.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the current recommendations for use of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
List at least 2 options for PrEP
Discuss the role of primary care providers in preventing HIV
