Statement of Need

There are many consequences of drug abuse, including that, within opioid use disorder (OUD) populations, there is 27 times an increased risk for HIV infection. This has led to a need for education on integrated testing, treatment, and prevention among patients with OUD, particularly on strategies to reduce barriers to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) initiation in high-risk patients.

The second part of this CME Outfitters Briefcase, a case-based faculty interview, aims to educate clinicians on PrEP for HIV prevention, including what patients are - or are not - candidates for PrEP, as well as the necessary steps to take before initiating PrEP.
