HIV Diagnosis and Preexposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Prescription Among Commercially Insured Persons With Bipolar Disorder
<b>Conclusions:</b> PrEP use among commercially insured people with BD was critically low, with <1% prescribed PrEP. Even among those with multiple encounters for STIs, <4% were prescribed PrEP, despite this being an indication for prescription. Engagement of people with BD in the PrEP care continuum is essential for ending the HIV pandemic, and integration of PrEP prescription with psychiatric care may represent an efficient method for increasing PrEP use.
