| Summary: | Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a cornerstone of HIV prevention and is strongly endorsed by New York State. However, it is underutilized, particularly by communities disproportionately affected by HIV. In New York State, PrEP is a central component of the standard of care for HIV prevention in those at increased risk. Components of primary HIV prevention include PrEP, along with safer sex and safer injection practices. Some communities at risk have disproportionate barriers to accessing and using PrEP. Medical care provider awareness of and willingness to prescribe PrEP to all patients at risk, regardless of identity, sexual practices, willingness to use condoms, or willingness to cease injection drug use will help reduce some barriers to access and increase uptake of PrEP. |
