Integration of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) into health care practices represents a pivotal advancement in HIV prevention. Despite its proven efficacy, a significant practice gap exists among community-based health care professionals (HCPs) serving populations with elevated rates of HIV. Increasing access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in community care settings for patients who may be at risk for HIV could help increase HIV screening and PrEP uptake, which has remained low among certain key risk populations. HCPs across a range of community settings should seek to incorporate PrEP into inclusive discussions of preventative wellness options available to anyone who is sexually active or considering becoming sexually active.
In this CME Outfitters “Clinical Clues” series, based on the popular escape room game concept, clinicians are challenged to gather clues in two virtual practice environments by learning about populations impacted and new/emerging strategies related to PrEP care continuity. Successfully answering questions allows participants to collect clues needed to unlock subsequent stages. Pharmacist and public health expert Dr. Christina M. Madison offers practical commentary and management tips along the way.
