Client-Centered PrEP Conversations: Using a Sexual History Framework to Guide Shared Decision-Making
Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 12:00pm Eastern

Effective conversations about PrEP require more than discussing medication options – they involve building trust, understanding clients’ sexual health goals, and engaging in true shared decision-making. This webinar will explore how using a structured sexual history taking framework can support providers, navigators, and CHWs in partnering with clients to determine whether PrEP is right for them and, if so, which modality best fits their lifestyle, preferences, and needs.

Participants will gain the skills for creating a stigma-free environment during these collaborative conversations in order to elicit meaningful sexual health information to inform considerations such as adherence, access, privacy, and side effect concerns.

1.0 continuing education credit (CME, AAPA, ANCC, CPE, ASWB) is available for this webinar.

• El VIH y la Comunidad Latina/x: Creación de una solución para el acceso a la atención
  La comunidad latina/x está formada por diversas poblaciones que a menudo experimentan barreras para acceder a una atención y unos servicios para el VIH equitativos. Esto conduce a peores resultados de salud y tasas de retención en la atención entre estas poblaciones. Las estrategias culturalmente sensibles pueden ayudar a los proveedores a derribar las barreras sistémicas con el fin de aumentar la participación en la atención. Este seminario web proporcionará a los proveedores una comprensión exhaustiva de la cultura latina, las barreras a las pruebas y el acceso a la atención que encuentran las personas latinas y las mejores prácticas para involucrar a esta comunidad en los servicios relacionados con el VIH.
