**Overview**

Patients who want to start PrEP (and can afford it) are screened for medical eligibility; provided information about PrEP efficacy, adherence, and managing side effects; and receive relevant sexual health care services.

**Rationale**

Reinforcement of PrEP efficacy and adherence by medical providers increases patient motivation and commitment. A PrEP prescription visit is a perfect opportunity to provide other comprehensive sexual health services and to reinforce PrEP as a component of overall sexual wellness.

**Decision Points**

*Can patients be referred to same-day PrEP initiation medical visits following decision-making counseling?*
*Will your site do same-day PrEP start?*
