Oral PrEP Training for Providers

7 July 2022

This modifiable training slide deck was developed with support from USAID and PEPFAR through the Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) project. The materials reflect WHO guidance as of 4 April 2022 and build on lessons learned from nearly ten years of oral PrEP implementation. The training is built so that it can be implemented virtually or in-person without the use of training manuals- making it easy to update as new guidance is released and lessons are learned. The materials cover both daily and event-driven oral PrEP.
