Kaiser Family Foundation: PrEP Access in the United States: The Role of Telehealth
Telehealth to provide pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and associated services (“tele-PrEP”) has been a trend that began before the COVID-19 pandemic. This issue brief provided an overview of the tele-PrEP landscape, including how PrEP services (e.g., initial consults, lab work, prescribing, and ongoing monitoring) are provided and factors that facilitate its provision as well as barriers that remain. The brief also highlights two-state run programs – California and Iowa – and four community-based clinics that offer tele-PrEP programs.
