Study Details

Brief summary:

The investigators are conducting a one and one-half year mixed-methods study to evaluate self-reported sexual risk, knowledge and barriers/facilitators of PrEP use, and preferences of oral, injectable, and implantable PrEP treatment modalities-as a function of race and age, and experience with intersectional discrimination. The first qualitative phase of our study would be conducted over the first eight months, followed by a quantitative phase that will collect data via online cross-sectional survey over the remaining ten months.
