Manage episode 350321137 series 2884624
In this episode, Carolyn Chu, MD, MSc, FAAFP, AAHIVS, discusses improving HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis accessibility and availability for PWID, including by:
- Integrating PrEP with services that PWID are already aware of and/or connected to (eg, harm reduction/syringe services and substance use disorder treatment programs, peer-based training/education initiatives, healthcare for the homeless programs, and emergency departments)
- Staffing PrEP programs with people who are trusted by PWID and delivering PrEP in settings where patients feel respected, comfortable, and safe
- Tailoring prescribing practices and interventions (eg, same-day medication initiation, on-site pharmacies and/or medication storage, and intensive outreach and navigation) to support the care needs of PWID
