Presenters:

Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a highly effective prevention tool for individuals at risk for HIV. This webinar will describe PrEP effectiveness and eligibility guidelines, and emphasize common barriers to PrEP access in the clinic setting. Focusing on key points of patient contact, the presenters will discuss methods to develop a clinic culture that is supportive of PrEP, and concrete tools to support rollout and implementation of this critical intervention. Presenters also will emphasize the clinic-wide issues necessary to support a successful PrEP program; but please note that this webinar will not focus on PrEP prescribing or clinical considerations.
