Express Testing and Same-day Initiation of PrEP Study

This study is an observational cohort study to measure the impact of express testing and same-day initiation of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) on outcomes related to the PrEP cascade. The investigators expect that same day initiation for PrEP will improve PrEP uptake. The investigators hypothesize that baseline HIV test positivity will be higher than that of general testing for gbMSM in Ontario. This is a key indicator to determine whether this targeted approach is able to access the highest risk population.

Inclusion Criteria:Patients 16 years of age and older, visiting HQ for express testing, HIV negative and not currently on PrEP.Exclusion criteria: Patients under the age of 16 years of age, currently on PrEP, or living with HIV.
