HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials

The goal of this study is to learn if STEP-UP (Streamlining Telehealth for Expanded PrEP Utilization through community Partnerships) works to expand access to PrEP for people who could benefit from HIV prevention tools. STEP-UP is an innovative model for PrEP delivery that positions community-based organizations (CBOs) as hubs for PrEP access. STEP-UP builds on the established trust, community expertise, and comprehensive services of CBOs serving individuals who could benefit from HIV prevention tools, integrating telehealth PrEP delivery into their existing infrastructure through partnership with a local telehealth PrEP program. By enabling CBOs to offer telePrEP navigation within their array of health and social services, STEP-UP creates accessible, comprehensive care centers that address barriers to PrEP access faced by individuals who could benefit from HIV prevention tools. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is STEP-UP acceptable and feasible to implement in community settings? 2. Does STEP-UP increase PrEP prescription rates compared to the existing direct-to-consumer telehealth model? Researchers will compare people who receive telehealth PrEP services through STEP-UP at community-based organizations to those who access telehealth PrEP through the existing direct-to-consumer telehealth model. Some participants will: 1. Complete surveys about their experiences with the program 2. Participate in an interview to share their perspectives and feedback about the program.
