NCT04207151
Brief Summary:
The goal of this study is to assess the impact of an intervention, known as SNAPS, to expand Preexposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) prescriptions at Health + Hospitals (H+H)/Bellevue. In addition, evaluating whether this intervention, ie SNAPS, helps patients get on PrEP and stay on PrEP to prevent STIs like HIV. PrEP is a medication that needs to be taken on a regular basis in order to be effective to prevent HIV transmission.
Detailed Description:
The objective of the investigator's proposal is to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention to (1) increase PrEP initiation overall, (2) increase uptake among groups disproportionately impacted by the HIV pandemic, and (3) to preserve high PrEP retention while expanding use. In addition, the proposal includes innovative secondary outcomes of (4) identifying barriers and facilitators of PrEP use that may be unique to urban safety-net populations, and (5) estimating the HIV infections averted due to greater PrEP uptake from the intervention.
The intervention is multi-level yet, targets the "weakest chains in the link" of PrEP initiation at safety-net hospitals designed for scalability, sustainability, and implementability across a wide range of settings. It consists of Surveillance by STI testing, Navigation by unannounced patient navigators to the Sexual Health Clinic (SHC), Accelerated follow-up with providers with PrEP expertise, Point-of-care PrEP counseling and laboratory testing, and Seamless, consistent, longitudinal, comprehensive care (SNAPS).
