Enhanced Standard of Care
Clinic-based PrEP services per usual standard of care (e.g., HIV and STI testing, clinical assessments for signs and symptoms of HIV and PrEP safety) with access to a limited number of LYPS app components, including basic PrEP adherence information and study visit reminders.
