COURSE SUMMARY
Initiating an open and honest conversation with patients about their sexual health and determining clinical eligibility for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is often challenging to many primary care providers (PCPs) who may feel uncomfortable and unprepared. This one-hour enduring webcast is designed to increase awareness among PCPs of their role in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention, provide practical tools to improve their comfort and skills in opening dialogues about sexual health, and prepare them to provide full PrEP services.
