Those at risk of contracting HIV can take a preventative medication called pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), which is up to 99% effective at preventing HIV transmission. Increasing the awareness and uptake of PrEP is a crucial step toward ending the HIV epidemic. The Online Prevention Education Now (OPEN) Program module HIV Basics aims to provide comprehensive, accessible HIV education to the general population. The OPEN Program demonstrated a significant increase in HIV and PrEP knowledge, decrease in stigma, and increase in PrEP-seeking attitudes. The results of the current study show the impact and importance of HIV education in a general population and contribute to literature in the public health and online education fields.Format: OnlineenExperimental psychologyHIV preventionPre-exposure prophylaxisText
