PrEP Uptake in North Carolina: Innovative Strategies for Reducing Barriers

Abstract

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a biomedical HIV innovation designed to reduce HIV transmission. Unfortunately, PrEP uptake is suboptimal within many communities in the US South. Innovative interventions that integrate evidencebased strategies (e.g., mHealth and peer navigation through cyber health educators) are needed to increase PrEP uptake in North Carolina.
