Abstract

Guideline-driven initiation of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a safe and effective strategy for reducing the incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Yet, PrEP initiation is generally inadequate allowing for a persistently high HIV prevalence in the United States. The aims of this integrative review were to identify and examine barriers contributing to suboptimal PrEP prescribing by primary care providers (PCPs), establish which practice-based intervention(s) are most effective in improving PCP PrEP prescribing practices, and guide implementation of such intervention(s) via hypothetical case study provision. Review objectives were intended to result in answering how implementing practice-based interventions affects PCP PrEP prescribing compared to no intervention implementation.
