The Action Kit Includes Provider and Patient Resources!
The kit is structured around these core HIV
prevention practices:
Take a sexual and substance use history from
all patients as a part of routine medical care.
Screen and treat sexually active patients for
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) based on sexual history
and clinical guidelines. Please note that empiric STI treatment is often indicated.
Talk about PrEP and PEP with
all sexually active patients and recommend PrEP to patients who have an indicatation of HIV risk.
Prescribe PrEP
and PEP according
to clinical guidelines, or
refer patients to sites that
provide PrEP and PEP. Prescribe PrEP to anyone who requests it regardless of risk indicators.
