Advancing Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Access in Pharmacies to Improve PrEP Uptake in Disadvantaged Areas
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pharmacy Delivered PrEP Intervention for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Completed, enrolled 49 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The proposed research will develop a culturally appropriate pharmacy pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) delivery model for black men who have sex with men (BMSM) who live in high poverty, racial minority neighborhoods. Increasing access to PrEP through pharmacies has the potential to increase PrEP uptake among BMSM thereby reducing HIV incidence and racial inequities in HIV.

Timeline
Interventions
Pharmacy client participants who are eligible and agree to the HIV test will be provided with a pre-packaged kit of a self-administered test for HIV and directed back to the private area of the pharmacy to perform their screening. Pharmacy client participants who test HIV negative will be provided with their results and be given a 30-day prescription for PrEP, culturally appropriate PrEP counseling and a follow-up appointment with a PrEP prescribing physician. Pharmacy client participants will be contacted after 3 months to determine whether they continued PrEP use.
