HIV Prevention Workshop with Dr. Kyle Wilby

Workshop Description:

Curious about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and other HIV prevention options? This session will provide an overview of currently available options, new options on the horizon, and efforts being made to increase access to PrEP through prescriber availability and dismantling systemic oppression for target populations. The facilitator will use theory, evidence, and personal experiences as a PrEP user, researcher, and pharmacist to leave participants with a solid foundation on managing PrEP in primary care settings. Specific considerations for PrEP eligibility, prescribing, and monitoring therapy will be discussed.
