摘要

Background

Same-day pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention is a novel tool to increase biomedical prevention access and uptake. Although prior research has identified same-day PrEP as feasible and acceptable, improved understanding of key barriers and facilitators to implementation is needed to optimize impact.

Methods

The Network for Implementation Science in HIV (NISH) examined the implementation of same-day PrEP across 42 Ryan White Part A-D-funded organizations in seven Ending the U.S. HIV Epidemic Initiative priority jurisdictions. We used crisp-set coincidence analysis with six conditions to identify key barriers explaining delayed implementation of same-day PrEP among 38 clinical organizations representing 137 individual clinics where same-day PrEP services were available currently or in the future.

Results

Our final model explained ~ 67% of clinical organizations not currently implementing same-day PrEP (n = 8), with a consistency of 80%. This model identified three pathways to non-implementation of same-day PrEP: (1) insurance coverage as a top barrier and insufficient staffing resources as a top barrier; (2) no onsite pharmacy as a top barrier; or (3) provider reticence with same-day PrEP prescribing and insurance coverage as top barriers, and patient demand/(dis)interest in same-day PrEP not being ranked as a top barrier.

Conclusion

The three identified pathways to delayed implementation of same-day PrEP aid researchers and providers in reverse mapping strategies to enhance and scale up the implementation of same-day PrEP in federally funded clinics in the U.S. Such strategies may include federal and state-level policy changes to expand funding for PrEP coverage, pharmacist-led same-day PrEP implementation, or mail delivery of PrEP prescriptions.
