Topics:
Adolescents, HIV, and PrEP:
Adolescents are a key population in the HIV epidemic, accounting for approximately 1 in 5 new HIV infection in the United States. The expanded indication for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in adolescents provides clinicians with an additional, effective tool to further reduce the risk of HIV transmission in this group. Once diagnosed, youth with HIV are the least likely out of any age group to be linked to care and achieve viral suppression once on ART.
PrEP: An Integral Part of Contemporary Primary HIV Prevention:
One step in the implementation plan to end the HIV epidemic in the United States is to expand pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use by at least 50% among at-risk populations. It is estimated that only 15% of those who would benefit from PrEP are receiving it. PrEP uptake has been challenged by several factors including perception of low risk of HIV acquisition, access to care, concerns about cost, and not wanting to take a daily pill. This activity will discuss the lessons learned from demonstration projects, open-label extension studies, and clinical practice on approaches to mitigate potential barriers to PrEP uptake and strategies to improve integration of PrEP.
