PrEP Optimization Among Women to Enhance Retention and Uptake

Description

Black women experience one of the highest incidences of HIV among all subpopulations in the United States, but pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among Black cisgender women is very limited. The investigators will implement four strategies (provider training, patient education, EMR optimization, and PrEP navigation) at 12 community health clinics in the Midwest and South. The investigators predict that PrEP use and other related outcomes will improve for participants after the intervention period.
