This report highlights the urgent need to consider innovative strategies to connect BLCW with PrEP services. As part of a NIMH EHE supplement project, the UCLA CHIPTS received funding to develop and pilot an implementation strategy to increase PrEP awareness and optimize PrEP uptake among BLCW through the use of the PlushCare telemedicine application.

The slides include your options for compliance. The workshop also discusses the UC Open Access Policy, which requires all University of California research publications to be deposited in the eScholarship repository.
