Q&A on HIV PrEP: Episode 3 on Adolescents and Young Adults

In this podcast, experts Sarah M. Wood, MD, MS, and Errol L. Fields, MD, PhD, MPH, discuss some of the challenges and concerns clinicians face when prescribing PrEP to adolescents.

The faculty addresses the potential for adverse effects from PrEP, including the potential for renal impairment, decreased bone density, and whether PrEP can interfere with hormone therapy for gender-affirming care. They review the data behind these concerns and emphasize that the vast majority of adverse effects caused by PrEP are mild and reversible.

The experts also examine common barriers that adolescents face when attempting to initiate and adhere to PrEP, such as insurance coverage and confidentiality. Dr Fields and Dr Woods discuss strategies for overcoming these barriers and retaining adolescents on PrEP, including how to navigate tricky conversations with both patients and parents or within communities that may stigmatize PrEP and HIV.
