Overview

Analysis reveals disparities in PrEP prescription rates for HIV prevention among different ethnic and racial groups at two health centers, indicating targeted interventions may be needed.

Key Points

  • PrEP disparities exist, with Hispanic and Black women receiving lower prescription rates compared to white men.
  • Of 63,591 patients, only 88 (0.1%) initiated PrEP, with significant differences noted by demographic groups.
  • Observation of records from two FQHCs indicated that men received PrEP prescriptions at notably higher rates than women.
  • The findings highlight the need for addressing inequities in HIV prevention strategies across different populations.
