Target Audience

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of clinical and community pharmacists involved in the care of patients at risk for HIV infection.

This case-based, online skills assessment activity is a supplement to the online monograph, Pharmacist-Led PEP/PrEP: A Comprehensive HIV Prevention Guide. In a series of three interactive cases, learners will apply their PrEP and PEP skills and knowledge to scenarios in a pharmacy setting.
