Expanding the HIV prevention workforce is more important than ever: disparities in PrEP uptake and need persist; biomedical prevention is advancing rapidly; the HIV workforce is shrinking; and PrEP demand remains high. With the right knowledge and tools, pharmacists, pharmacy staff, and technicians can play an important role in meeting patient demand for HIV prevention services. Join HealthHIV with RxEACH on World AIDS Day, Monday, December 1st, 2025 at 2:00pm Eastern, for “Prepped to Serve: A Toolkit to Implement PrEP in Community Pharmacies”. Presenters will overview available medical education and a hands-on resource designed to help pharmacists, pharmacy staff, health-serving organizations, and community leaders support the sustainable delivery of HIV prevention services, including PrEP, PEP, and HIV screening, in community pharmacies. This year, HealthHIV’s HIV Prevention Certified Provider™ Certification Program offers a new Pharmacy-Based HIV Prevention and PrEP module to empower pharmacy-based providers to implement HIV prevention strategies. Pharmacists can earn the HIVPCP℞ certification, which demonstrates knowledge and skills to prescribe, dispense, and administer PrEP, conduct effective eligibility screenings, provide counseling, and apply real-world strategies, aligning with state-specific guidelines to expand access to HIV prevention services. RxEACH’s complimentary hand-on resource is built for real-world implementation by offering clear, actionable strategies for pharmacists to help close persistent gaps in access in communities most affected by HIV. |
