Title: How to PrEP Your Patient
Description:
The identification of persons living with HIV continues across the United States. From 2018-2022, syphilis rates increased by 80%. The acquisition of syphilis, gonorrhea and or chlamydia increases a patient's risk for acquiring HIV. The CDC released guidelines for doxypep usage in gay and bisexual men. Nurse practitioners can work to eliminate HIV through obtaining comprehensive sexual health histories, testing and treating sexually transmitted infections, providing patient education, and prescribing pre-exposure prophylaxis medication.
