Starting the Conversation: A Navigator’s Guide to Discussing Rapid-Start HIV PrEP with Patients

This toolkit provides guidance for PrEP navigators and care coordinators on guiding patients to rapid-start PrEP. It offers practical strategies and frameworks to support patient-centered care while making rapid-start PrEP delivery more efficient and routine.

Knowing when to start a rapid-start PrEP conversation is just as important as knowing what to say. As a PrEP Navigator, your role is to recognize the moments when rapid-start PrEP may be indicated and open the door to a supportive conversation. These key opportunities can help patients access fast, same-day protection when they need it most.
