Evaluation of an Electronic Algorithm for Identifying Cisgender Female Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Candidates.

We previously developed an electronic medical record-based algorithm for identifying patients at risk for HIV in the emergency department (ED). The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the HIV risk algorithm for identifying cisgender women with a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) indication. To retrospectively evaluate the HIV risk algorithm, we identified cisgender women with HIV diagnosed in the ED and retrospectively calculated the HIV risk algorithm output.

Black Cisgender Women's PrEP Knowledge, Attitudes, Preferences, and Experience in Chicago.

Background: Although black cisgender women in Chicago continue to disproportionally account for new HIV diagnoses, few are on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We used concurrent mixed-methods to understand women's PrEP knowledge, attitudes, experience, and preferences in Chicago.

Setting And Methods: We surveyed 370 HIV(-) cisgender women visiting a sexually transmitted infection clinic (n = 120) or emergency department (n = 250).
