Program Abstract:
Young adults, especially racial/ethnic minority LGBTQ young adults, have the highest rate of acquiring HIV infection. In additional to behavior risk counseling, we have the tool of PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, and Pep or post-exposure prophylaxis to help prevent HIV infection. This presentation will review how to identify patients at risk for HIV infection and how to initiative and maintain patients using PrEP and PeP.
This session is partially sponsored by the American College Health Foundation Ayers/Battle/Thomas Diversity Fund.
