REVIEW OF SYSTEMS:

10-point review of systems is ______ except for as indicated in the History of Present Illness

 

PHYSICAL EXAM:

 

ASSESSMENT AND PLAN:

 

Suggested Diagnoses: Contact with and (suspected) exposure to HIV (Z20.6)

Suggested Visit Codes:

99401: Prevention Counseling ~15 minutes

99402: Prevention Counseling ~30 minutes

99403: Prevention Counseling ~45 minutes

99404: Prevention Counseling ~60 minutes

1. If no recent HIV screen, order HIV 1/2 Ab Ag Screen

2. If no recent BMP, order BMP to verify CrCl >60 mL/min

3. Hepatitis panel and Hepatitis B surface antibody, vaccinate for Hepatitis B if not immune

4. Pregnancy test in people who can become pregnant

5. Once laboratory testing has resulted, prescribe 90 day supply of Descovy or Truvada.

6. Schedule 3 month follow up

 

-IF patient is infected with hepatitis B (Hep B surface antigen positive), abrupt discontinuation of PrEP can lead to hepatitis flare.

-IF patient is not immune to hepatitis B (HepB surface antibody negative) recommendation is for Hepatitis B vaccination.

-IF patient has not received hepatitis A vaccine, recommendation is for Hepatitis A vaccination

 

PATIENT COUNSELING:

 

I spent ___ minutes in face to face with PATIENT NAME discussing the risks, benefits, limitations, possible complications, dosing, importance of adherence, and required conditions for continued prescribing of PrEP. Patient voiced understanding and wishes to proceed.

 

ANTICIPATORY GUIDANCE:

 

As we discussed today, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has the ability to significantly lower your risk of HIV infection.

 

Please go to any laboratory to complete your blood work in order to check your HIV status and kidney function. If these results are normal, we will prescribe the medication Descovy or Truvada for PrEP.

 

When taken consistently, PrEP is extremely effective in preventing HIV infection in patients at high risk. PrEP failure is almost always related to missing doses of the medication.

 

The medication used for PrEP is called Truvada (emcitritabine/tenofovir) or Descovy (emcitritabine/tenofovir) which is a pill taken once every day.

 

Common side effects of Truvada or Descovy include nausea, headache, and decreased weight. These symptoms typically go away during the first month of starting PrEP.

 

Rare but more serious side effects of Truvada or Descovy include the following:

 

Kidney problems: For this reason, we will do occasional lab tests to check your kidney function.

Liver problems: Let your provider know if you are having any of the following symptoms: skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow, dark "tea-colored" urine, light-colored stools, loss of appetite for several days or longer, or stomach-area pain.

 Bone problems: Studies show Truvada or Descovy can decrease bone density by about 0.8-1%, but this has not been shown to increase risk of fractures. If you have a higher risk of osteoporosis, we may consider occasional monitoring of bone density.

 

While PrEP is very effective in preventing HIV, it does not decrease the risk of other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). If you are having symptoms concerning for a STI such as penile or vaginal discharge, dysuria (pain/burning with urination), ulcers, or pain near your rectum, please call the office so that we can order appropriate STI testing.

 

Please follow-up in the clinic in 3 months to repeat HIV testing and recheck your kidney function.
