This presentation by Raphael Landovitz, MD, MSc, and Wendy Garland, MPH was part of strategy #3 panel (2024 National EHE Meeting).

This workshop part of the Equitable Injectable PrEP Initiative discussed techniques and resources community partners can use to communicate effectively about PrEP to populations disproportionately impacted by HIV in Los Angeles County.
Presentation by Naira Setrakian that described patterns of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use and switching between event-driven PrEP and daily PrEP regimens in a population of men who have sex (MSM) in
Hanoi, Vietnam. Data from a large PrEP clinic at Hanoi Medical University show that switching PrEP regimens is common and results in longer periods of PrEP use.
Presentation by Dr. Samuel Bunting that examines how patients living with mental illnesses experience disproportionately high HIV incidence and prevalence, while simultaneously experiencing numerous barriers to care. This study was conducted as mixed-methods, pilot study of psychiatrists practicing in the EHE priority jurisdictions about integrating PrEP into psychiatric care given the role as primary points of contact with the healthcare system for people with mental illnesses and HIV risk-factors. Psychiatrists practicing in high-HIV incidence areas were largely interested in prescribing PrEP but need additional training with a specific focus on practical management and integration with existing clinical workflows.
Presentation by Harsh Agarwal and Mark Erwin that examines how telehealth is often touted as a solution to overcome several PrEP barriers. This study explores how PrEP retention compared for clients who accessed it via Telehealth versus In clinic clients. Further, this study examined inequities in each group and then compared those inequities with each other.
