Financial Assistance for PrEP: Best Practices & Recommendations for the California State Office of AIDS’ PrEP Assistance Program

To improve accessibility of PrEP services, the California Department of Public Health has been authorized to develop a PrEP financial assistance program that will be modeled after the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP). We conducted a study of the current ADAP enrollment system to identify best practices that could be incorporated into the new PrEP financial assistance program. We also assessed the feasibility and acceptability of having ADAP enrollment staff and PrEP navigators serve as enrollment workers for such a program. This report highlights our findings and provides recommendations for the staffing and structural aspects of the new program.
