Start Date
10/2/2023
Completion Date
4/1/2025
Summary
This is a pilot study to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)smart among cisgender sexual minority males (SMM) taking on-demand PrEP over a 6-month period. Upon project completion, the investigators will have developed a highly innovative tool to support men who have sex with men (MSM) using on-demand PrEP ready for testing in a larger efficacy trial
Detailed Description
This study is designed to enroll a diverse population of English-speaking cisgender sexual minority males (SMM) in the United States. The study team will enroll up to 60 participants who are taking or are interested in taking on-demand pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Participants will be randomized 2:1 to receive (intervention arm) or not receive (control arm) the PrEPsmart app at enrollment. Participants will complete follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months. Participants newly starting 2-1-1 PrEP will be seen at the Bridge HIV clinic (prescribed group), while those already on PrEP may be seen at the clinic or complete visits virtually (non-prescribed group). Although no restrictions are put on the racial/ethnic make-up of the study participants, the site will strive to enroll at least 50% African American or Latino SMM into this study. The study will also strive to enroll at least 30% of participants who are newly starting or restarting 2-1-1 PrEP. Upon project completion, the study team will have developed a highly innovative tool to support men who have sex with men (MSM) using on-demand PrEP ready for testing in a larger efficacy trial.
