Summary
"PrEPare for Work" is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) whose goal is to test the efficacy of a behavioral intervention (Short Title: PrEPare for Work) in improving PrEP uptake, adherence, and persistence among male sex workers (MSW)
Detailed Description
A theory-based, manualized intervention -called "PrEPare for Work"-includes two separate but complementary interventions that address MSW-specific behavioral, economic, interpersonal \& structural-level barriers to accessing and adhering to PrEP: 1) peer-led, strengths-based case management (SBCM) for PrEP linkage and uptake; and 2) a technology and counseling intervention to optimize PrEP adherence (once they have access to PrEP). This research will test the PrEPare for Work intervention in a fully-powered RCT to assess efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
