Reconsidering Your Approach: Strategies to Support PrEP Persistence and Reengagement

In this episode, LaRon E. Nelson, PhD, RN, FNP, FNAP, FNYAM, FAAN, discusses the role that healthcare professionals (HCPs) may be playing in their patients’ pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) persistence and strategies to modify their approach to encourage persistence, from Clinical Care Options (CCO), including:

• Racial disparities in the PrEP care continuum
• Consideration that PrEP persistence may be less about relationship to the drug than the environment
• Examples of HCP implicit bias regarding PrEP responsibility based on racism and sexual prejudice
• Impact of HCP implicit bias on PrEP persistence
• Impact of racism on clinical cognition
• The demonstrated effects of stereotype threat and the potential healthcare implications
• Ways to improve clinical conversations about PrEP
• Providing person-centered care to encourage PrEP persistence using the Client‑Centered Care Coordination (C4™) Model
