Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective FDA-approved daily medication that can prevent up to 90% of HIV infections. Nurse practitioners play a key role in educating at-risk patients about this vital prevention tool.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Infectious Disease Prevention
- Pharmacology
Background:
- HIV remains a significant global health concern.
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a biomedical intervention for HIV prevention.
- Awareness and access to PrEP are crucial for at-risk populations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To raise awareness about the provision of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
- To highlight the role of PrEP in preventing HIV infection among at-risk individuals.
- To emphasize the importance of PrEP accessibility and education.
Main Methods:
- Literature review utilizing PubMed and CINAHL databases.
- Inclusion of data from government websites and press releases.
- Integration of author's clinical experiences and case study insights.
Main Results:
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), specifically TDF/FTC, is an FDA-approved daily medication.
- PrEP can offer up to 90% protection against HIV infection, contingent on patient adherence.
- Minimal side effects are documented, with renal monitoring recommended due to potential kidney damage.
Conclusions:
- Nurse practitioners are pivotal in facilitating PrEP access through comprehensive risk assessments, including sexual and drug use histories.
- Identifying and intervening with high-risk, stigmatized populations, such as transgender individuals, is critical for preventing future HIV infections.
- Prompt recognition and action regarding PrEP are essential for effective HIV prevention strategies.
