2. Improving tele

PrEP initiation and retention outcomes in the US:
The MISTR+ study, an NIH-funded series of clinical trials to support the development of low-touch interventions (such as tailored messaging) and testing their effectiveness on PrEP initiation and retention outcomes.

3. The Eleccin (Choice) Cohort:
Developing and testing a scalable, platform-agnostic digital intervention in Peru, an NIH-funded clinical trial to improve understanding of the factors associated with HIV acquisition and PrEP uptake; and evaluate the preferences for and effectiveness of an adapted digital health messaging intervention (mHealth) among men in Peru.

Detailed Project

Description:

PREMISE
To reach Ending the Epidemic (ETE) targets, we will need consistent national HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) data to describe patterns of use and to understand which programs and policies are effective at facilitating PrEP uptake. This NIH-funded study aims to build on our history of developing public PrEP data resources and innovative metrics of PrEP use in PREMISE (PrEP Epidemiology, Modeling, and Surveillance), a collaborative and interdisciplinary group that will use national PrEP data, along with legal and policy coding, to inform the US HIV epidemic response.

The study will conduct analyses regarding the scope of PrEP scale-up over time…
