ACTIVATE PrEP

Target Audience

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of community-based clinicians providing HIV prevention care, including primary care, OB/GYN, pharmacy, addiction medicine, and urgent care professionals (physicians, NPs, PAs, nurses, and pharmacists).

Program Overview

ACTIVATE PrEP is designed to help clinics who are already prescribing preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to optimize same-day and rapid initiation workflows. Many community health centers and sexual health clinics have the intent and infrastructure to offer immediate PrEP initiation but face persistent challenges that impede consistent implementation, including workflow inefficiencies, limited staff capacity, pharmacy coordination, and reimbursement uncertainty.

Educational Objectives

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

• Implement guideline-aligned same-day/rapid PrEP initiation workflows, including eligibility, testing, and prescribing
• Diagnose and optimize site-specific barriers (order sets, standing orders, staffing, and access pathways)
• Integrate patient-centered counseling strategies that reduce stigma and support uptake/adherence
• Define clinic pathways to offer long-acting PrEP when clinically appropriate and operationally feasible
• Develop and track a site-specific action plan with roles, milestones, and sustainability considerations
