HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is critical for ending the HIV epidemic, and a necessary part of health professions education. We present data from a US survey study ( = 2085) about educational experiences (coursework and extracurricular), in which medical, physician assistant, nursing, and pharmacy students received training about HIV risk factors and PrEP. We found a discrepancy between the percentage of courses covering HIV risk factors (84.7%) compared to PrEP (54.6%) for all students ( < .001), and specifically among final-year students (92.0% vs. 59.7%; < .001). Pharmacology courses were the most common exposure to PrEP (46.0%), and 61.3% of students were introduced to PrEP through an extracurricular experience. Health professions education must present HIV risk factors in conjunction with PrEP.

HIV暴露前预防(PrEP)对于终结HIV流行至关重要,也是卫生专业教育的必要组成部分。我们展示了一项美国调查研究(n = 2085)的数据,该研究涉及医学、医师助理、护理和药学专业学生的教育经历(课程作业和课外活动),这些学生接受了关于HIV风险因素和PrEP的培训。我们发现,所有学生中,涵盖HIV风险因素的课程百分比(84.7%)与PrEP课程百分比(54.6%)之间存在差异(P <.001),在最后一年的学生中差异尤为明显(92.0%对59.7%;P <.001)。药理学课程是接触PrEP最常见的途径(46.0%),61.3%的学生通过课外活动了解到PrEP。卫生专业教育必须将HIV风险因素与PrEP结合起来呈现。
