Year: 2018

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: Retention in preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care is critical to elimination of human immunodeficiency virus. We reviewed all Howard Brown Health patients receiving PrEP (n = 5583) from 2012 to 2017. Among those with 12 months of follow-up, 43% remained in care, yet only 15% had all 4 quarters with a PrEP visit. Insurance status and comorbid conditions were drivers of retention in care.
