Opportunities and Strategies to Optimize PrEP Uptake in Key Communities

This interactive webinar featured the perspectives of multiple diverse HIV prevention experts on PrEP uptake among relevant consumer/patient communities, including Black women, same-gender-loving (SGL) Black and Latino men, and transgender individuals. Presenters considered both challenges and opportunities for PrEP use among these communities, specific access issues, and strategies and model practices for providers and healthcare teams to address barriers and fully engage clients.

Educational Objectives: After participating in the activity, the learners are expected to be better able to:

• Utilize PrEP as part of a broader strategy to reduce disparities in HIV incidence in Black women, Black/Latinx same-gender loving men, and transgender men and women.
• Incorporate clinical data on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV into culturally competent educational and counseling strategies to improve the uptake of PrEP in vulnerable populations, including Black women, Black/Latinx same-gender loving men, and transgender men and women.
• Develop strategies to facilitate access to PrEP among Black women, Black/Latinx same-gender loving men, and transgender men and women.
