Client-Centered PrEP Conversations: Using a Sexual History Framework to Guide Shared Decision-Making

January 22, 2026 @ 12-1pm Eastern

Effective conversations about PrEP require more than discussing medication options – it involves building trust, understanding clients’ sexual health goals, and engaging in true shared decision making.

This webinar guides the use of a structured sexual history taking framework to support providers, navigators, and CHWs in partnering with clients to determine whether PrEP is right for them and, if so, which modality best fits their lifestyle, preferences, and needs.

Participants will explore how creating a stigma-free environment during these collaborative conversations can elicit meaningful sexual health information to inform considerations such as adherence, access, privacy, and side effect concerns.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe how the components of a sexual history taking framework inform PrEP eligibility and decision-making.
• Identify how client needs may be met by different PrEP modalities, including daily oral, event-driven, and long-acting injectable options.
• Explain communication approaches that reduce stigma, increase comfort, and encourage open dialogue with clients.
