In this episode, Dr Tavell Kindall and Jona Tanguay discuss actionable strategies for advanced practice providers to increase the frequency at which PrEP is offered and initiated in primary care settings. Topics covered include:

• Available training resources on how to offer PrEP in primary care
• Affordable, accessible PrEP options, including patient assistance programs
• Using electronic health records to identify candidates for PrEP
• Opportunities to offer PrEP during appointments regarding birth control, STIs, or any other sexual health concerns
• How to offer 3-site STI testing at your facility
• Wrapping PrEP into primary care
• Incorporating navigators or care coordinators to reduce logistical barriers and reach underserved populations
• Rapid testing, mobile testing, and Tele-PrEP as ways to facilitate PrEP initiation and simplify routine PrEP visits
• Healthcare professionals’ personal biases as a potential barrier to PrEP
• Using ICD-10 codes for HIV PrEP as a way to further destigmatize PrEP and simplify billing
