Summary

To evaluate if utilizing Telehealth medicine for access to HIV PrEP will engage more Black and Latino Men who have sex with Men (MSM)

Detailed description

The goal of this study is to determine whether incorporating a telehealth model that allows for same-day appointments for PrEP delivery with the support of navigation leads to increased uptake and persistence of PrEP in young MSM/transgender of color and individuals in rural communities that have disproportionately not used PrEP. The investigators will accomplish this by using an effectiveness-hybrid design that will allow us to both evaluate the interventions impact on relevant clinical outcomes as well as the effectiveness of the implementation strategy. Our hypothesis is that by removing some of the barriers to care such as transportation, childcare, work schedule and potentially stigma with repeated clinic visits, the investigators will increase the uptake and persistence of PrEP amongst communities who historically have had many barriers to care and have not started PrEP.
