Welcome to PrEP U™: HIV-Prevention Education for University Student Health Centers!

Topics to be covered include: HIV epidemiology and risk, overcoming stigma and social barriers, screening and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and strategies and resources for implementing an educational and awareness campaign to prevent HIV infection and increase the use of PrEP on your university campus.
