PrEP: Preventing HIV in Women Across the Lifespan

PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV, yet PrEP use among women is very low. Barriers that women face include lack of awareness, negative experiences with providers, lack of confidence that providers know about PrEP, adherence to a PrEP regimen, and negative responses from partners.

This webinar will highlight the importance of engaging women in HIV prevention at each stage of life, including strategies for engagement and barriers to care.

This thought-provoking webinar addresses stigmatizing language used when talking about HIV, mental health, and substance use disorders and how this language perpetuates bias in the workplace.
