This full day clinical conference will bring together experts in Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV Prevention in order to enable experienced and novice PrEP providers to develop skills to effectively care for those individuals at risk for HIV and to increase retention of PrEP patients in a diverse population. Experts will discuss special considerations for female, transgender, and adolescent patients. This program will include interactive panels of community representatives and local providers for participants to discuss their particular clinical concerns with PrEP experts.
As a result of this activity, health professionals will have increased knowledge of engagement, adherence and retention for biomedical prevention of HIV in relation to special populations including youth, men who have sex with men, trans women, injection drug users, and women.
Audience
The intended audience for this program includes experienced and novice PrEP providers and health professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, PrEP navigators and case managers, interested in advanced clinical care and retention for patients eligible for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV prevention.
