Abstract
Purpose of review: This review summarizes key implementation strategies to advance oral and long-acting PrEP delivery for unstably housed people in the United States.
Recent findings: People experiencing homelessness and housing instability face barriers to PrEP uptake and adherence including lack of safe medication storage, competing basic needs, insurances issues, and/or mental health or substance use disorders. Recent advancements in HIV treatment and prevention provide evidence on high-touch, low-barrier implementation approaches to address these challenges. We compiled these approaches into a multi-component implementation strategy, "SHELTER", which includes: low-barrier primary care, case management, incentives, outreach, care coordination, multidisciplinary provider collaboration, data tracking, and robust provider-patient relationships. The US has fallen short of our Ending the Epidemic targets, in part due to challenges in PrEP delivery for people experiencing housing instability. SHELTER provides a comprehensive approach for considering critical components of HIV prevention for this population that can be used in future oral and long-acting PrEP programs.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of HIV/AIDS.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antiretroviral therapies, behavioral aspects of management, and metabolic complications and comorbidity. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
