Women and PrEP: Closing the HIV Prevention Gap

Podcast Summary

Join PrEP Essentials as we explore the latest HIV prevention strategies and the expanding PrEP toolbox. Women account for nearly one in five new HIV infections in the United States. Yet despite major advances in HIV prevention, women remain significantly underrepresented among PrEP users.

In this episode, infectious disease specialist Dr. Ralph Bernardo, nurse practitioner Britney Sanders, and HIV prevention specialist Arnissa Tyson discuss the barriers that limit PrEP uptake among women and share practical strategies for improving awareness, access, and patient engagement. From stigma and risk perception to pregnancy considerations and available PrEP options, this conversation offers actionable insights for healthcare professionals seeking to expand HIV prevention in women’s healthcare.
