Book excerpt: PrEP is a broad set of clinical tools that can be used to reduce the chances of acquiring HIV. Although it is highly effective, many people who could benefit from PrEP lack access or are not familiar with it. However, primary care providers can remedy this situation and truly make a difference in the lives of their patients who may be at risk of acquiring HIV. This eHealth SourceTM educational activity comprises 5 chapters, covering an overview of HIV epidemiology, practical approaches to sexual history-taking and assessing patient risk of HIV acquisition, initiation and monitoring of PrEP medication, and overcoming the bias and stigma surrounding HIV and PrEP. Throughout the program, our expert faculty will provide their unique insights surrounding sexual health, HIV prevention, and PrEP, and how these may be incorporated into primary care practice.
