Expanding HIV prevention services at community pharmacies presents a unique opportunity to enhance public health by increasing access to essential HIV prevention services, including Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). PrEP is a medicine taken to prevent HIV, while PEP is a medicine to prevent HIV after a potential exposure. By leveraging the widespread presence and accessibility of community pharmacies, states can improve access to these critical prevention tools.
