Health center operations were transformed overnight because of the COVID epidemic. Telemedicine services skyrocketed, allowing patients and providers to connect virtually and telephonically. While this benefited numerous patients, not all services could be provided in a telehealth setting. HIV Prevention services, specifically PrEP, saw a drastic decline in usage during the height of the epidemic in the United States. However, some health centers found innovative ways to still provide HIV Prevention services.
In this session, you'll learn how a health center innovated HIV services for their patients during COVID; understand what the new PrEP clinical guidelines mean for health centers, and discover what services will look like in the future with the introduction of new medications, injectables, and other innovations in care.
Learning Objectives
- Outline effective tools and resources to create a sustainable TelePrEP program.
- Integrate the new PrEP clinical guidelines and understand their impact on HIV Prevention services.
- Discuss the new biomedical interventions in HIV Prevention and how to prepare for them in a health center setting.
