Sponsor's own description
This project consists of two phases to be completed over five years. Phase 1 (Aims 1 and 2) will be completed during Years 1-3 (R61). The Phase 1 study is a randomized trial of a multilevel HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) intervention strategy in rural and peri-urban North Carolina sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics, with primary outcome of PrEP uptake within 3 months of an index STI clinic visit.
