Boosting HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Prescribing Confidence in a Southern Family Medicine Residency

A single, low-resource educational intervention can improve family medicine residents' confidence in PrEP prescribing, despite minimal change in knowledge scores after this small-scale study. These findings underscore the importance of integrating sexual health, including prescribing PrEP for HIV, and LGBTQ+-inclusive training into residency education, particularly in high-need regions. Scalable educational models like this may help advance the <i>Ending the HIV Epidemic in the US</i> initiative by equipping primary care providers to engage more effectively in HIV prevention and address disparities among vulnerable populations.

Abstract

A single, low-resource educational intervention can improve family medicine residents' confidence in PrEP prescribing, despite minimal change in knowledge scores after this small-scale study. These findings underscore the importance of integrating sexual health, including prescribing PrEP for HIV, and LGBTQ+-inclusive training into residency education, particularly in high-need regions. Scalable educational models like this may help advance the <i>Ending the HIV Epidemic in the US</i> initiative by equipping primary care providers to engage more effectively in HIV prevention and address disparities among vulnerable populations.
