Implementing PrEP to Decrease HIV Transmission Rates Among Females

In 2018, 5.1 per 100,000 persons in the United States assigned females at birth (AFAB) live with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV prevention tools, including daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), screening for sexually transmitted infections, treatment, and sexual health counseling, can be implemented into clinical practice to address the prevalence of HIV infection among this population. Historically, this population has had a decreased opportunity to be screened for HIV or offered PrEP to protect them from HIV.
