| Popis: | In 2017, a low-resource substance use treatment center in Baltimore, Maryland, noted that at least 38% of patients, ranging from 18 to 76 years old, with substance use disorders (SUD) met the criteria for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) therapy. PrEP therapy consists of a daily medication to prevent transmission of human immunodeficiency virus. A conceptual framework model was developed linking eligible patients with SUD to PrEP services based on current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention PrEP recommendations. Three tools were developed for PrEP service planning, implementation, and evaluation. The focus of this report is to increase access to and uptake of comprehensive PrEP services in those with SUD who are at risk for acquiring human immunodeficiency virus. |
