Advancing the case for nurse practitioner ‐based models to accelerate scale‐up of HIV pre‐exposure prophylaxis

ConclusionsThere are four main evidence ‐based arguments that can be used to advance policy‐level and practice‐level changes that harness the assets of nurse practitioners in accelerating the scale‐up of HIV PrEP.Relevance to clinical practiceGlobal public health goals for HIV prevention cannot be achieved without the broader adoption of PrEP as a prevention practice among healthcare providers. NPs are the best hope for closing this gap in access for the populations that are most vulnerable to HIV infection.
