PrEPared and Strong: Clinic-Based PrEP for Black MSM
Completed · Phase 4
Conditions studied: HIV/AIDS
In brief
Black men who have sex with men (MSM) have among the highest rates of new HIV infections of any group in the United States. Developing effective HIV prevention interventions that work with this group is a critical element of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. In the first phase of our study ("the ethnographic phase"), the investigators will carry out community-based research that will explore structural, social and cultural factors relevant to how Black MSM might engage with Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). This phase of community-based research will inform the design of an enhanced PrEP adherence intervention, which will be subsequently tested at a community-based health clinic in Harlem in the second phase of the project.
