Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Care Cascade Among Men Who Have Sex with Men Engaging in Partner Notification Services at a Sexually Transmitted Infections Clinic
Partner notification services (PNS) offers opportunities to discuss HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and provide referrals. We evaluated the PrEP care cascade among men who have sex with men (MSM) engaging in PNS within a sexually transmitted infections clinic. Among 121 MSM eligible for PrEP during PNS, 21% subsequently initiated PrEP.
