- Abstract: Sexual history screening (SHS) is recommended to determine risk for acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and eligibility for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). SHS and PrEP are underutilized, sequential screening, and prevention practices. This study aimed to understand factors impacting the implementation of SHS and PrEP at a multi-site federally qualified health center (FQHC) in Connecticut. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, semistructured interviews were conducted on Zoom with primary care providers (PCPs), medical assistants, clinical leadership, and PrEP navigators. Convenience and purposive sampling took place via email until thematic saturation was achieved. Thematic analysis was conducted. Twenty-two participants were interviewed for this study. PCPs lacked knowledge and reported limited or no use of SHS to determine patients' level of HIV risk, which may explain why most PCPs relied on patients to request PrEP. While PCPs perceived organizational support to prescribe PrEP, clinical staff were unaware of structural resources. Lastly, participants described a vertical trajectory of influence from external sources (policies and insurance) to time allocated to appointments that limits their ability to implement SHS and PrEP, further complicated by the electronic health record and disparities in structural resources across clinical sites. This study provides foundational evidence for future research on implementation strategies to improve HIV prevention through universal, comprehensive SHS to identify patients for PrEP. Overcoming barriers to SHS and PrEP, particularly in clinical settings such as FQHCs that care for vulnerable populations, may improve identification, prevention, and treatment of HIV and aid in ending the HIV epidemic.
