Summary

"PrEPare for Work" is a two-stage randomized controlled pilot trial which utilizes a behavioral intervention to optimize the uptake and adherence of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Male Sex Workers (MSW).

Detailed description

The "PrEPare for Work" package includes two behavioral intervention components: 1. Strengths-based case management for PrEP initiation, and 2. Counseling and problem-solving PrEP adherence intervention that addresses individualized barriers to optimal use. Stage 1: MSW will be equally randomized to receive either the strengths-based case management or standard of care referral to PrEP clinic. Stage 2: Those from stage 1 who initiate PrEP , regardless of stage 1 randomization condition, will then be equally randomized to either the "PrEPare for Work" adherence intervention or standard of care comparison condition.
