Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 24 years
  • Men only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • ages 18-24;
  • assigned male at birth, identify as a man (cisgender), transgender woman, or gender non-conforming or genderqueer;
  • identifying as Black, African American, or multiracial with at least one parent identifying as Black or African American;
  • not currently taking PrEP or attending a visit to initiate PrEP;
  • self-report being HIV-negative;
  • reporting one of the following HIV risks in the last 6 months (Hosek, Rudy et al. 2015, Hosek, Rudy et al. 2017): a. condomless anal intercourse with an HIV-infected male partner or a male partner of unknown HIV status; b. anal intercourse with 3 or more male sex partners; c. exchange of money, gifts, shelter, or drugs for anal sex with a male partner; d. sex with a male partner and has had a sexually transmitted infection; e. sexual partner of an HIV-infected male with whom condoms were not consistently used; f. anal intercourse where the condom broke or slipped off

Who cannot join

  • We are excluding those individuals who were assigned female at birth (female birth certificate) and/or cis-gender women (those assigned female at birth and identify as women) from the all phases of this study as this study is intended to explore the HIV prevention behaviors of B/AA young men who have sex with men and young transgender women (assigned male at birth) as these two groups represent the highest risk groups for HIV infection in the US, yet only a small percentage are aware or currently use PrEP for HIV prevention.

About this study

Official title: Point of Care PrEP Delivery for Young Black/African American Men Who Have Sex With Men and Young Transgender Women at High Risk for HIV Infection

The investigators will pilot-test an accelerated PrEP initiation approach among young high-risk Black/African American (B/AA) men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (YMSM/TW) at the point of care in community contexts.

Read the detailed description

The study team will provide a free 30-day supply of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to young Black MSM and TW identified as PrEP-eligible and interested in taking PrEP to reduce their risk of HIV acquisition. This intervention is intended to assist youth at high risk for HIV acquisition in successfully initiating PrEP use.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intention to Continue PrEP

    Intention to continue use of PrEP will be assessed via survey questions related to a respondent having made a follow-up appointment to continue taking PrEP, attended an appointment to continue taking PrEP, having filled a prescription for PrEP, and reporting an interest in continuing PrEP after current supply is complete.

    Measured: Post Intervention (1 month after receiving intervention)

  2. Intention to Continue PrEP

    Intention to continue use of PrEP will be assessed via survey questions related to a respondent having made a follow-up appointment to continue taking PrEP, attended an appointment to continue taking PrEP, having filled a prescription for PrEP, and reporting an interest in continuing PrEP after current supply is complete.

    Measured: Post Intervention (4 months after receiving intervention)

  3. PrEP Adherence

    PrEP adherence will be assessed via self-report of how many pills from the initial intervention remain and a self-assessment of success at remembering to take PrEP daily.

    Measured: Post Intervention (1 month after receiving intervention)

  4. PrEP Adherence

    PrEP adherence will be assessed via self-report of how many pills from the initial intervention remain and a self-assessment of success at remembering to take PrEP daily.

    Measured: Post Intervention (4 months after receiving intervention)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PrEP Adherence Self-Efficacy

    PrEP adherence self-efficacy will be assessed via a 9-question scale focused on respondents' belief that they could continue to take PrEP when experiencing barriers to adherence. Each item is scored on a 0-10 scale, where 0 means "cannot do at all" and 10 means "completely certainly can do." This scale has been adapted from the Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (Johnson et al., 2007).

    Measured: Post Intervention (1 month after receiving intervention)

  2. PrEP Adherence Self-Efficacy

    PrEP adherence self-efficacy will be assessed via a 9-question scale focused on respondents' belief that they could continue to take PrEP when experiencing barriers to adherence. Each item is scored on a 0-10 scale, where 0 means "cannot do at all" and 10 means "completely certainly can do." This scale has been adapted from the Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (Johnson et al., 2007).

    Measured: Post Intervention (4 months after receiving intervention)

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intention to Continue PrEP (time frame: Post Intervention (1 month after receiving intervention)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2022.
