No Longer the Exception, but the Standard: Integrating Trauma-Informed Policy and Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Implementation for Women

Almost four decades into the national HIV/AIDS epidemic, women remain significantly impacted. Heterosexually active women are a key population targeted in national HIV prevention efforts (Short, Sutton, Luo,& Frazier, 2019). In 2018, women represented 19% of all new HIV diagnoses in the United States. Among heterosexual women, unprotected condomless vaginal and/or anal sex with a male partner is the primary mode of HIV transmission and accounts for 85% of HIV diagnoses among women (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017a).
