Abstract
The scale-up of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) represents a paradigm shift in HIV prevention that poses unique challenges for public health programs. Monitoring of PrEP implementation at the population level is a national priority, with particular significance in New York City (NYC) given the substantial HIV burden and the prominence of PrEP in state and local Ending the Epidemic program plans. We highlight the importance of local monitoring and evaluation of PrEP implementation outcomes and describe the experience at the NYC Health Department, which includes engaging communities, triangulating a variety of data sources regarding PrEP implementation, and leveraging those data to help guide programming. In NYC, we used data from national surveillance systems and incorporated PrEP-related indicators into existing local data collection systems to help illustrate gaps in PrEP awareness and use. Ultimately, ensuring that PrEP achieves the desired impact at the population level depends on identifying disparities through appropriate and accurate measurement, and addressing them through evidence-based programs.
