Peer-led Community-based PrEP Delivery Among Youth in Brazil
Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham
Summary
The goal of this project is to conduct a series of studies to refine, test, and understand experiences with a peer-led community-based intervention in which youth will be integrated into health care teams and trained to deliver HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to their peers. The study team will conduct a randomized trial to determine if peer delivery of PrEP to youth aged 15-24 in Brazil will increase PrEP uptake, persistence, and adherence compared to standard PrEP care provided in health facilities.
