(P194) NATIONAL HIV PREP CURRICULUM - EVALUATION OF REACH AND ENGAGEMENT

Background:
HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is >90% effective for preventing sexual acquisition of HIV, yet only one in three persons who would benefit receive it. The new National HIV PrEP Curriculum (NHPC) and its multimedia features—HIV PrEP Tools for Clinicians app, Clinical Guides, Panel Discussions, and Mini-Lectures—offer novel methods to reach, engage, and train health professionals on how to assess, initiate, and monitor HIV PrEP.

Methods:
We evaluated demographic and completion data for registered learners, and multimedia data from Google Analytics, YouTube, Apple App, and Google Play for 2/6/2024-3/26/2024.

Results:
The majority of the 542 registered learners were based in the U.S. (94.3%, n=511) and located in 43 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands. Among U.S.-based learners, 21.7% were nurse practitioners (n=111), 14.3% registered nurses (n=73), 11.9% physicians (n=61), 7.4% Disease Intervention Specialists (n=38), and 6.7% pharmacists (n=34). More than half were care providers/clinicians (54.2%, n=277) with 27.8% in family practice (n=77), 19.9% infectious diseases (n=55) and 19.9% public health (n=55). The majority reported direct interaction with clients/patients (82.8%, n=423), and, of those, 60.1% provided HIV care and treatment (n=254). Twenty-nine percent worked at a Federally Qualified Health Center (n=147).

A total of 239 registered learners completed ≥1 self-study lesson. Half of those learners completed the five lessons in the HIV PrEP Fundamentals Module (n=118), 37 completed the six lessons in the In-Depth Topics Module, and 32 completed all 11 lessons.

A total of 3,807 users (registered and unregistered) viewed the NHPC website pages 34,467 times. The HIV PrEP Tools for Clinicians app was downloaded 226 times. The Clinical Guides were viewed 461 times, Panel Discussions 199 times, and Mini-Lectures 102 times.

Conclusion:
In the first seven weeks, NHPC is reaching, engaging, and training health professionals across the U.S. on how to assess, initiate, and monitor HIV PrEP.
