Popis: Abstract The goal of this study was to describe the cohort of women prescribed PrEP at the Veterans Health Administration. We used a cross-sectional study of electronic health record data. We used descriptive statistics and calculated estimated average percent change by year of prescription. A total of 417 women were prescribed PrEP over the study period. The most substantial change over time in PrEP prescribing occurred among women aged 18–24, in Other race group, and in the Western US. Though PrEP prescribing increased since its approval, more research is needed to identify barriers and expand PrEP access for women Veterans.
