In this episode, LaRon E. Nelson, PhD, RN, FNP, FNAP, FNYAM, FAAN, discusses the role that healthcare professionals (HCPs) may be playing in their patients’ pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) persistence and strategies to modify their approach to encourage persistence, from Clinical Care Options (CCO), including:

• Racial disparities in the PrEP care continuum
• Consideration that PrEP persistence may be less about relationship to the drug than the environment
• Examples of HCP implicit bias regarding PrEP responsibility based on racism and sexual prejudice
• Impact of HCP implicit bias on PrEP persistence
• Impact of racism on clinical cognition
• The demonstrated effects of stereotype threat and the potential healthcare implications
• Ways to improve clinical conversations about PrEP
• Providing person-centered care to encourage PrEP persistence using the Client‑Centered Care Coordination (C4™) Model
