Summary
Planned Parenthood staff are positive about providing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention to cisgender women. Addressing structural, provider, and patient barriers, alongside culturally competent training, is key to successful PrEP implementation.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Implementation Science
- Reproductive Health
Background:
- Reproductive health settings are ideal for delivering pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention to cisgender women.
- Implementation of PrEP in these settings has been slow.
- Planned Parenthood clinicians and leaders offer valuable insights for accelerating PrEP adoption.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore perspectives of Planned Parenthood staff on PrEP implementation.
- To identify barriers and facilitators to providing PrEP.
- To understand training needs for PrEP delivery.
Main Methods:
- Individual interviews were conducted with clinical staff, leadership, and managers.
- The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research guided the exploration of Planned Parenthood's inner setting.
- Verbatim transcripts underwent thematic analysis.
Main Results:
- Participants expressed positive attitudes towards PrEP implementation, despite variable knowledge.
- Barriers and facilitators were identified at structural, provider, and patient levels.
- Culturally competent communication training was a desired component.
Conclusions:
- Planned Parenthood has unique strengths that can facilitate PrEP implementation.
- Overcoming identified barriers is crucial for optimizing PrEP delivery to cisgender women.
- Targeted training addressing communication is essential.

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.

Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:
