Activity Description

Due to the combination of their training, experience educating patients, and their role as members of the healthcare team, pharmacists are well positioned to contribute in efforts to end the HIV epidemic by supporting the appropriate use of PrEP and nPEP. But to fully embrace their role, it is essential that pharmacists continue to receive education that improves their knowledge and competence regarding PrEP and PEP, and how they can contribute to the interprofessional team.
