Summary
This study looks at how to make HIV prevention pills (PrEP) easier for young people to get and keep using. Researchers will follow 1000 current or eligible PrEP users in Alabama and Botswana for 2 years. They will also create and test a decision-support toolkit to help patients and doctors talk about PrEP. The goal is to improve access and reduce HIV infections.
