EMPOWER
EMPOWER, a group-based 6 sessions telehealth behavioral intervention, will comprise sexual health goals and values elicitation, sexual health plan development, and motivational enhancement skills will be used to promote effective HIV prevention decision-making within the relationship context, incorporating the sexual values of each participant. This will allow each participant to develop a personalized, tailored sexual health plan that includes PrEP deliberation to enhance PrEP decision-making, uptake and persistence within a culturally congruent and empowering program that aims to reduce stigma around HIV and barriers to access.
