Abstract

The goal of this study was to describe the cohort of women prescribed PrEP at the Veterans Health Administration. We used a cross-sectional study of electronic health record data. We used descriptive statistics and calculated estimated average percent change by year of prescription. A total of 417 women were prescribed PrEP over the study period. The most substantial change over time in PrEP prescribing occurred among women aged 18-24, in Other race group, and in the Western US. Though PrEP prescribing increased since its approval, more research is needed to identify barriers and expand PrEP access for women Veterans.

简讯：退伍军人健康管理局开具艾滋病毒 PrEP 处方的妇女队列。

本研究的目的是描述退伍军人健康管理局开具 PrEP 处方的女性群体。我们对电子健康记录数据进行了横断面研究。我们使用了描述性统计方法，并计算了按处方年份估算的平均百分比变化。在研究期间，共有 417 名女性被处方 PrEP。随着时间的推移，PrEP 处方量变化最大的是 18-24 岁的女性、其他种族群体和美国西部地区。尽管自 PrEP 获批以来，处方量有所增加，但仍需开展更多的研究，以找出障碍并扩大女性退伍军人获得 PrEP 的机会。
