Training STD Expert Hour Webinar – PrEP: What’s the 2- 1-1?
STD Expert Hour Webinar – PrEP: What’s the 2- 1-1?
August 13, 2019
Dr. Oliver Bacon facilitates an audience-led panel discussion with PrEP Experts and covers the following learning objectives for this webinar:
Be familiar with the evidence supporting 2-1-1 PrEP (also known as on-demand PrEP, sex-based PrEP, and pericoital PrEP)
Be able to counsel patients on the details of 2-1-1 dosing, including how to switch between 2-1-1 and daily PrEP
Be familiar with the current thinking about how to offer 2-1-1 dosing (who would & would not benefit from 2-1-1 dosing, how to prescribe, & follow-up care)
Don’t forget to swab! Among men who have sex with men, 84% of gonorrhea and chlamydia infections would be missed with urine-only screening1. Make sure your clients are screened for gonorrhea and chlamydia of the throat and rectum.
What:
Extragenital Screening for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia
Where:
Rectum and throat
Who:
Men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender women, people living with HIV, and people on PrEP who report having receptive anal and/or oral sex
When:
At least annually, or every 3 to 6 months as needed based on exposure
Why:
When urine-only screening is performed, up to 90% of rectal gonorrhea and 77% of rectal chlamydia infections remain untreated1. HIV-negative men diagnosed with rectal infections are excellent candidates for PrEP, because they have a high risk of HIV infection
How:
Swab specimen (self or clinician-collected swab)
The California Prevention Training Center supports clinics and providers in implementing rectal and pharyngeal STI screening.
