Bringing Medicines for HIV Prevention to a Family Planning Clinic

Sponsor: Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand what patients and physicians think about providing medications to prevent HIV transmission to patients in a family planning clinic. These medications are known as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP. The main questions to answer are: 1. Do patients find it acceptable to be asked about, and offered, PrEP during their visit to a family planning clinic? 2. What things make it easier or harder to ask about PrEP in a family planning clinic setting? 3. What things make it easier or harder to begin PrEP in a family planning clinic setting? Patient participants: 1. Will receive standardized counseling about PrEP. 2. Will have the opportunity to begin PrEP as part of their routine, ongoing care. 3. Will be asked to complete a survey about their experiences. Physician participants: 1. Will receive standardized education about PrEP. 2. Will talk to patient participants about PrEP, and support patient participants who want to begin PrEP. 3. Will be asked to complete pre-and post-study surveys about their experiences. 4. May be asked to complete a post-study in-depth interview about their experiences.
