Juntas Adelante: A Peer-Coaching Intervention to Promote Chemoprophylaxis for HIV Prevention Among Latina Transgender Women in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of the Juntas Adelante intervention on awareness and use of chemoprophylaxis for HIV prevention (Pre- and Post-Exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP and PEP) among Latina Transgender Women in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area. Secondary outcomes included awareness and use of Doxy-PEP (i.e., Doxycycline for prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections - STI), and awareness of Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U). The main questions are: 1. Is the Juntas Adelante intervention acceptable and feasible to implement with this population? 2. Is participating in the Juntas Adelante intervention associated with increased awareness and use of PrEP and PEP? All participants in the study will view 5 online short videos on HIV and STI prevention and will receive up to two virtual coaching sessions with a peer coach. They will also complete a brief survey after viewing each video (5 total) and three longer surveys/interviews over the course of 3 months.
