Staff and Providers’ Perceptions of Patients’ PrEP Candidacy, Acceptability, and Adherence in Methadone Clinic Settings
To promote PrEP implementation in methadone clinics, staff and providers should receive training around screening for PrEP eligibility in order to maximize the benefits of PrEP for various subpopulations, especially those who inject. Importantly, discussions around sexual behavior and injection drug use must be approached in an open, non-stigmatizing manner. These findings can be used to inform future interventions to integrate PrEP services into substance use treatment settings.
