While many HIV care providers are offering vital PrEP services, over half of those providers (52%) acknowledged the urgent need to enhance HIV prevention outreach and engagement efforts for people experiencing homelessness (PEH), ranking them as the top demographic requiring immediate attention. For PrEP to be sustainable, providers must understand the specific needs and concerns of their PrEP patients who are experiencing housing instability. While periods of PrEP may be short, providers must be able to discuss what it means, and how it may benefit PEH to use PrEP at different time periods throughout their life.
To educate healthcare professionals on delivering equitable and individualized PrEP care to PEH, and improving PrEP uptake and adherence among PEH, HealthHIV is launching a two-part webinar series on “PrEP for People Experiencing Homelessness: From Outreach to Adherence”.
The webinar series launches on World AIDS Day. This year’s theme, “World AIDS Day 35: Remember and Commit<https://default.salsalabs.org/Te1efc92d-5f5e-461e-a2fd-387a7b31d994/50acb6d8-82f6-48f6-a49e-2f769198effe>,” emphasizes our collective responsibility to act. Together, we can improve health equity and end the disparities in access to HIV prevention, care, and treatment, including disparities among people experiencing homelessness. This webinar series will engage healthcare professionals (clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers and other allied health workers) in discussions around clinical and structural interventions for engaging PEH in PrEP.

Join HealthHIV on World AIDS Day (Friday, December 1, 2023) for a 60-minute live webinar featuring two experts who will discuss the unique challenges, opportunities, and strategies for outreach and engagement of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in PrEP services. The experts will share model practices, highlight patient case examples, and discuss strategies for engaging PEH in PrEP, such as PrEP medication adherence and persistence, adherence to medical appointments, and addressing common comorbidities.
Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
· Describe barriers people experiencing homelessness (PEH) face to initiating and adhering to PrEP and how providers and navigators can address these challenges.
· Identify culturally competent strategies and messaging for engaging PEH in PrEP.
· Summarize best practices for providing support to initiate PrEP, such as access to PrEP medication, labs and clinic visits for people experiencing homelessness (PEH).
· Identify collaborative strategies for interdisciplinary teams to guide PEH in their use of PrEP.
Continuing Education
1.0 credit/contact hour is available for completion of each webinar activity (live or on-demand) for physicians, physician associates, nurses, social workers, and pharmacists.
