Abstract (type = abstract)
Education about Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has been focused on men who have sex with men (MSM) because rates of HIV infection are higher among this population. Pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP is indicated for people at very high risk for HIV. Those at risk take a once daily pill to lower their chances of getting infected. PrEP can stop HIV from spreading throughout your body (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2018). Current evidence indicates that women who are educated about PrEP are more likely to inquire about initiating this prevention strategy (Koechlin et al., 2016). For example, The GreaterThan online resource for information about PrEP, has more resources for MSM about PrEP compared to resources about women and PrEP. Women at risk for HIV are not identified for PrEP compared to MSM (Aaron et al., 2017). The Prepwatch webpage addresss a womans need for PrEP; it advises that PrEP is safe for both men and women, however, there is no additional information or resources for women (PrEPwatch, 2018). Women are of considerable interest when discussing PrEP. In 2015 and 2016, women made up 19% of the new HIV diagnoses in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2017). Knowledge about PrEP would benefit women at risk for HIV. Because there are limited PreP resources available for women, this education could be provided by counselors and take place at an STD counseling and testing center. This project explores the intervention of counseling clinicians at a clinic located in Newark, NJ to identify and refer women at risk for HIV to the PrEP counselor.
