This study examines how to optimize a conditional cash transfer (CCT) intervention to increase PrEP use among Black and Latinx men who have sex with men (MSM) in Los Angeles County. Findings from a discrete choice experiment reveal preferences for larger cash payments provided more frequently, with some variation in PrEP modality. These results highlight the potential of tailored CCT designs to improve PrEP uptake and advance national efforts to reduce new HIV transmissions among key populations.
We examined the relationship between violence/coercion and PrEP acceptability among cisgender female sex workers and transgender sex workers in urban West Bengal, India. We found very high rates of violence and coercion among participants, particularly among transgender sex workers. We also found that the relationship between coercion/violence and PrEP willingness was conditional on gender.
Hosted by our Equitable Injectable PrEP in LA County Initiative, this workshop featured a panel presentation from staff at the Division of HIV and STD Programs on current and future plans to expand PrEP use in Los Angeles County.
This global health seminar featured Dr. Dvora Joseph Davey who focused on research to address equitable delivery of HIV and STI interventions, focusing on a case study of oral and injectable PrEP, and STI management, in pregnant and lactating people, in South Africa.
This community workshop hosted by our Equitable Injectable PrEP in LA County Initiative featured a panel of Black and Latino/a cisgender MSM and transgender women (BLMSM/TW) who shared their experiences with injectable PrEP in Los Angeles County.
This presentation by Raphael Landovitz, MD, MSc, and Wendy Garland, MPH was part of strategy #3 panel (2024 National EHE Meeting). This presentation highlighted how PrEP use remains suboptimal in populations that could benefit greatly and explores what a conditional cash transfer intervention for HIV prevention should look like for high-need populations in South LA.
This presentation by Jeannette Webb was part of strategy #2 panel (2024 National EHE Meeting). The presentation provided examples of how we are engaging criminal legal populations in research and shared results from an EHE funded supplement focused on PrEP implementation in jails and following release from the perspective of stakeholders.
This presentation by Jessica Sales, PhD was part of strategy #1 panel (2024 National EHE Meeting). The presentation provided background information on PrEP provision in Title X clinics across the south, observing key challenges and understanding public health context. The presentation also highlights successful partnerships with SisterLove and the Georgia Family Planning System in creating sustainable solution and implementing new practices.
This workshop part of the Equitable Injectable PrEP Initiative discussed techniques and resources community partners can use to communicate effectively about PrEP to populations disproportionately impacted by HIV in Los Angeles County.
Presentation by Naira Setrakian that described patterns of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use and switching between event-driven PrEP and daily PrEP regimens in a population of men who have sex (MSM) in
Hanoi, Vietnam. Data from a large PrEP clinic at Hanoi Medical University show that switching PrEP regimens is common and results in longer periods of PrEP use.
