Major objectives include: ▪ Increased HIV screening and re-screening among persons at elevated risk for HIV. ▪ Increased active referrals and rapid linkage of persons eligible for PrEP. ▪ Increased PrEP prescription among persons eligible for PrEP. ▪ Decreased risk behaviors for acquiring HIV infection.
