IHS PrEP Policy

From 2017-2021, the Native population was the only racial or ethnic group of people to see an increase in new HIV diagnoses. A simple but powerful tool called HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) can effectively prevent someone from acquiring HIV when taken or administered as prescribed. HIV PrEP has been approved for over a decade, but far too few people are currently taking it. To address this, IHS has released three simplified HIV PrEP policies that may be used as a guide for providers, nurses and pharmacists that make it easier than ever to offer HIV PrEP to eligible individuals on-demand.
