HIV Prevention Snapshot

Reviewed by Daniel Erias, MD and Jeffrey Kwong, DNP, MPH, AGPCNP-BC

Overview

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a preventive medication administered intravenously or orally to reduce the risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection that may occur following sex or injection drug use.

Specialty Impact

Any licensed health care provider is able to prescribe PrEP. Among the health care providers who are most likely to prescribe PrEP are:

At-Risk Populations

Individuals who are at-risk of HIV transmission include:

Individuals who have had anal or vaginal sex in the past 6 months and
- had a parter with HIV
- had sex without consistently using a condom
- have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease in the past 6 months
Individuals who inject drugs, have an injection partner with HIV, or who shares needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment
Individuals who have previously been prescribed PrEP, have reported continued risk behavior, or previously used multiple courses of PrEP

Diagnostic Snapshot

The HIV Risk Incidence Index for Men Who Have Sex With Men (HIRI-MSM) and Injection Drug Users Risk Index (IDU) are often used to stratify risk in patients.
