PrEP is the use of antiretroviral medications before potential HIV exposure to prevent HIV acquisition. Because PrEP uses antiretroviral medications, confirming HIV negative status immediately prior to initiation is critical.1
PrEP has received a grade A recommendation from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) meaning that there is high certainty that the net benefit of this service is substantial. More details are available in the USPSTF full recommendation.2
Any licensed prescriber can prescribe PrEP, regardless of subspecialization. Primary care providers may be uniquely positioned to inform sexually active adolescents and adults about PrEP and identify those who might benefit from PrEP.1
As new PrEP products are approved by FDA, please be aware there may be a delay in resources and guideline updates
