HIV Prevention Peer Navigation for Justice Involved Women
Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco
Summary
Women involved in the criminal justice system have complex and highly stigmatized sexual and substance use risk profiles and are particularly vulnerable to, and experience, high rates of HIV. Criminal justice settings represent an important opportunity to address health disparities in HIV by linking women, who experience multiple, intersecting stigmas with innovative biomedical HIV prevention strategies, like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The investigators propose to develop and test a peer-led patient navigation intervention for criminal-justice involved (CJI) women at risk of HIV acquisition to reduce intersectional stigma and improve uptake and linkage to PrEP services, thereby increasing access to PrEP and decreasing PrEP-related disparities.

The control arm will be standard-of-care, which is as-needed case management for justice-involved women. The goals of case management services are to reduce recidivism, mitigate behavioral challenges, strengthen public safety, and build self-sufficiency skills. Case managers refer clients to appropriate services in the community (e.g., housing, food).
Peer Navigators Addressing INtersectional Stigma to Improve HIV Prevention Among Criminal-Justice Involved Women
kINSHIP is a peer-led navigator intervention to address intersectional stigma and improve PrEP treatment initiation and engagement for justice-involved women. The key components of the kINSHIP intervention are to: 1) increase social support; 2) increase self-efficacy in accessing PrEP services; 3) enhance access to healthcare services; 4) improve adaptive coping skills to manage experiences of intersectional stigma.
