Interventions

  • EMC2 PrEP Educational Tool — BEHAVIORAL
    Patients will receive an interactive PrEP Educational Tool. This interactive tool will be securely sent via the patient portal. After logging into their portal, patients will have the opportunity to review the information on their own time.
  • Discrete Scheduling of a Dedicated PrEP Visit — BEHAVIORAL
    Within the interactive PrEP Educational Tool, patients who choose to will have the opportunity to discretely schedule a dedicated PrEP visit with a primary care clinician trained on PrEP delivery. The clinician will have time reserved to allow for 'rapid' scheduling.

Arms

  • No Intervention: Usual Care
    Usual care includes: 1) no specific materials to promote PrEP knowledge or uptake among women in primary care, and 2) variable physician counseling on PrEP among women with increased vulnerability to HIV.
  • Active Comparator: The EMC2 PrEP Strategy
    The EMC2 PrEP Strategy will utilize health information and consumer technologies to automatically deposit an interactive PrEP educational material into the patient portal of women with clinically indicated increased vulnerability to HIV. The material will: 1) promote PrEP knowledge, and 2) prompt discrete scheduling of a dedicated PrEP visit among those interested.
