Description
Giovanna Lopez and co-authors study who stays engaged with Los Angeles County's TelePrEP program in a 2026 cohort analysis. The phone-based service, launched in May 2023, widens access to HIV prevention drugs.
Records covered 412 clients from May 2023 through May 2025. Most were male, nearly half were Hispanic or Latino, and most were aged 18 to 39. Over half left the program, mostly over trouble keeping to the drug schedule. Finishing three or more quarterly visits showed no clear tie to gender, age, background, or insurance. The authors back stronger early support to keep clients in care.
