Abstract

We assessed sexually transmitted disease/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) service availability at the primary sexually transmitted disease safety net clinic by phase I Ending the HIV Epidemic jurisdiction status. HIV testing was >90%. In Ending the HIV Epidemic jurisdictions, 22% of primary safety net clinics initiated and/or provided preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), 46.6% provided PrEP education or referral only, and 29.9% did not provide any PrEP services.
