Summary
This pilot study will test a program that combines a trauma-focused therapy (STAIR) with peer-led HIV prevention (PrEP) support for transgender and nonbinary people who have experienced violence. The goal is to see if this combined approach is acceptable, feasible, and helps improve mental health and PrEP use. The study will involve 90 participants in Los Angeles.
