Summary

This study tested a program to help healthcare providers prescribe HIV PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) more effectively. The program included a web-based tool and a coordinator to support doctors. Ten clinics in San Francisco participated. The goal was to see if the program increased the number of PrEP prescriptions written for patients at risk of HIV.

Active substance

PrEP Optimization Intervention (PrEP-OI) including a web-based tool and a PrEP Coordinator

What this could lead to

If successful, this program could help more at-risk patients get HIV PrEP, reducing new HIV infections.

What could go wrong

This was a very small study (10 clinics) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. It focused on provider behavior, not patient outcomes.
