**Overview**

Patients who are considering PrEP are provided with more detailed education and counseling to inform and support their decision-making.

**Rationale**

When deciding to start PrEP, patients need to understand how PrEP works and what they need to do to use PrEP safely and effectively. Framing PrEP uptake as an empowering, responsible choice that patients can make to take control of their sexual health increases patients’ interest in and commitment to PrEP as an HIV prevention option.
