New Certification Program in PrEP Navigation
With the aim of elevating and expanding PrEP navigation services nationwide, HealthHIV announces the launch of the HealthHIV HIV PrEP Navigation Certification (HIVPNC) Program, the only certification program offered to providers and allied health professionals focused on preparing providers to guide community members in their use of PrEP over time. HIVPNC is designed to support and empower both clinical and non-clinical providers in providing inclusive, affirming PrEP navigation services backed by current data and clinical best practices.
"The HIV PrEP Navigation Certification Program has been transformative for our team, serving as a catalyst for professional growth. It empowers our staff to expertly guide individuals seeking PrEP, reinforcing our commitment to delivering impactful and inclusive healthcare across our network."

By obtaining HealthHIV’s HIV PrEP Navigation Certification, providers will demonstrate their commitment to assisting patients in:
· identifying the most appropriate PrEP options for them;
· gaining access to PrEP medications, care, and monitoring;
· staying adherent in their PrEP use; and
· navigating changes in their lives that may require changes in their PrEP care.
The certified HIVPNC will:
· Complete 8 online modules on the fundamentals of PrEP, PrEP science, client-centered navigation practices, getting to know your clients, paying for PrEP, linkage to PrEP care, PrEP adherence, and self-care and healthy teams;
· Earn 4.0 Credits/Contact Hours (CME, MOC, NCPD, ASWB, AAPA);
· Earn their HIV PrEP Navigation Certification (HIVPNC); and
· Receive a listing in the national online directory of HIVPNCs.
