A large pool of clinicians is needed to meet growing demand for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We surveyed a mixed group of HIV specialists and non-specialists in the San Francisco Bay Area to determine their attitudes toward and training needs regarding prescribing PrEP to persons at increased risk of HIV infection. Willingness to prescribe was associated with experience in caring for HIV-infected patients (AOR 4.76, 95% CI 1.43-15.76, p=0.01). Desire for further training was associated with concerns about drug resistance (p=0.04) and side effects (p=0.04), and was more common among non-ID specialists. Clinicians favored on-line and in-person training methods.
