Show Notes
In this episode, global PrEP experts and advocates discuss barriers that have prevented the full potential of today’s PrEP regimens from being delivered, how those barriers might be overcome, and how the next generation of PrEP modalities may address unmet needs, including:
- How access and implementation of PrEP have limited its benefit and led to disparities in uptake among racial and ethnic groups in the United States and among key populations globally
- The challenges of adherence to PrEP for healthy individuals who are required to consistently take medication and engage with the healthcare system when they aren’t sick
- The potential for longer-acting PrEP modalities and a greater number of PrEP options for individuals in the future to expand PrEP uptake and adherence with equitable global access
