This activity will focus on the specific protocols, details, and policies necessary for pharmacists practicing in Nevada to implement postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) and PrEP. This state primer is best used as an additional resource to the monograph in this curriculum, Providing PEP/PrEP in the Pharmacy Setting: A Comprehensive User Guide. The monograph addresses all the clinical and behavioral aspects of HIV prevention, while the state primer will provide specific requirements from the state Board of Pharmacy.

Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, participants will be better prepared to:
- Describe the state-specific parameters outlined by legislative decisions that allow for pharmacist-led or pharmacy-based direct delivery of PEP and PrEP services
- Discuss state-specific process and protocols for HIV testing and PEP/PrEP prescribing, monitoring, and referral, if required
