The key takeaway from this exhaustive and well-done offering is that pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is not just a drug to prevent getting infected specifically by HIV but a process towards ensuring optimal sexual health. Indeed, the material vividly reflected this reality. This is the first course I have taken whose is explicit goal is to connect comprehensively with not just either a wide net of audience (usually making the material to be “too light” for those with experiences and competencies in the topic) or a small group of specialists – rather, there are components meant for practitioners and clients/patients. The course creators delivered a holistic view of the process itself and the relevant circumstances that either enable or hamper its implementation. I highly recommend this course to everyone – health professionals, the casually-interested, and past/present/prospective clients alike – so that more people can contribute in the whole-of-society approach against HIV/AIDS and other sexually-transmitted infections.

This was an excellent class. Being able to see on both sides of the PrEP discussion and treatment plan is beneficial for all. It's very important to understand the topic from both sides as the preventative and therapeutic treatments are still fairly new to both patients and providers. It's important that we all understand that there are new ways out there to prevent and treat the proliferation of newly acquired HIV cases. With both provider and patient understanding the resources available to them, and how to access these treatments, we can hopefully begin to end the

Very nice program for healthcare providers, patients, and the Pharma Industry. Good message to educate both providers and patients that PrEP is a process of sexual health and it is not just a pill. Also a good analysis of barriers, model of care, engagement with staff and patient group, including cost-effectiveness analysis. Certainly, PrEP is another important tool to help achieve the goal of eliminating HIV.

Very good program and the teachers from John Hopkins University are outstanding.

Have not enjoyed and learned from one single course in a while. This course was awesome and provided me some tools that I can extensively apply in my practice as Nurse Practitioner and Infection Control Nurse. Also I am taking lots of advices in how managed discrimination against LGBTIQ, hard conversation among others. I want to thank every single of you that made possible and we are here thanks to you!!

This course was very informative and interesting. Some of the subject matter was repeated multiple times and so maybe some editing of the course would make it a bit more coherent. That being said, thank you to Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and all the Staff that made this course possible. Keep up the good work.
