Course Overview

Having constructive, judgment-free conversations about sexual health can be uncomfortable and difficult at first, but they’re essential to preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and ending the HIV epidemic. Join Allison Agwu, MD, Justin Alves, RN, and a group of patients for webinars discussing how patients and providers can connect to prevent HIV infection by using PrEP, a medication that prevents HIV.

Topics:

  • Questions used to determine risk for HIV infection
  • How to start PrEP and stay on it
  • New and in-development PrEP therapies and trends
  • Real stories from people using PrEP

We have made tremendous progress in treating HIV, but we still have an epidemic, with about 38,000 new HIV cases identified each year. Learn from expert faculty about how pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can virtually eliminate HIV, who is eligible for PrEP, and how to monitor patients using PrEP. You will also hear stories from people in the LGBTQ community who are currently using PrEP.
