Covering Costs of HIV PrEP
Clients considering PrEP may feel overwhelmed by trying to get PrEP within their health systems. PrEP educators and navigators may face their own challenges when explaining the costs of HIV PrEP and finding resources for handling those costs for these clients.
HealthHIV proudly announces a new 60-minute e-learning module, Covering Costs of HIV PrEP, created to help PrEP educators overcome these challenges through engaging and interactive activities, job aids, and scenarios. Participants have opportunities to reflect on how they can apply what they’ve learned to their current situations and can save their reflections for future reference as they grow their knowledge in the field.
The Capacity Building Assistance Provider Network (CPN) National HIV Classroom and eLearning Centers offers this course through funding from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background about this Course
During this self-paced e-learning module, participants will review three cost components of HIV PrEP, and sources of insurance, and other key tools that PrEP educators can use to help their clients cover those costs and evaluate different options for covering costs based on the needs of clients in various situations. Participants will reflect on how to discuss the costs of PrEP and how to use the covered tools and resources in their own organizations and with their own clients. This module will prepare participants for beginning their work as PrEP educators as well as serve as a refresher for experienced professionals.
This course is for a variety of HIV care providers in clinics and primary healthcare settings, including:
- Community health workers
- Health educators
- Nurses
- Social workers
- HIV case managers
- Patient navigators
