OHA's new PrEP Guide for Providers and Navigators is now available on our website<https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/DISEASESCONDITIONS/HIVSTDVIRALHEPATITIS/HIVPREVENTION/Pages/prep-pep.aspx>, under "For Providers" on the PrEP/PEP page. You can access the document directly here<https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/DISEASESCONDITIONS/HIVSTDVIRALHEPATITIS/HIVPREVENTION/Documents/PrEP_Guide_2024_Update.pdf>. This guide is designed to help anyone interested in supporting people who want access to PrEP. Whether you are a pharmacist, clinician, or prevention specialist, this guide will provide the answers and resources you need to help people access PrEP information, services, and medication. It contains an overview of PrEP, clinical basics for PrEP prescribers, an overview of insurance coverage and payment assistance, as well as a two-page FAQ Patient Handout. The patient handout is currently available in English - a Spanish version is forthcoming. Email Amelia Mazzei<mailto:Amelia.E.Mazzei at oha.oregon.gov> with any questions or feedback about the guide.
