Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) isn't just for specialists - it's for everyone in healthcare. This session will introduce PrEP as a critical HIV prevention strategy and challenge common assumptions about who can benefit. Many people at risk for HIV don't realize PrEP is for them, and many providers don't realize they can - and should - offer it. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of PrEP's role in reducing HIV acquisition, its importance in routine sexual and reproductive healthcare, and practical ways to normalize and integrate it into everyday practice.
