The authors proposed a simplified framework, similar to the HIV care and treatment continuum, to monitor PrEP implementation in the following way: identify at-risk MSM; increase awareness of and willingness to take PrEP; ensure access to healthcare (including prescriptions); and ensure adherence to PrEP. The authors evaluated the proposed continuum within an Atlanta cohort of MSM and projected that only 15.2% of MSM in that cohort would be protected by PrEP, with black MSM significantly less likely than white MSM to be protected by the use of PrEP...	en_US
