Pioneering Research to Optimize Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Expansion With Lenacapavir (LEN)
The goal of this observational study is to generate real-life information on the use of lenacapavir (LEN, YEZTUGO®, (YTG)) for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) across diverse clinical settings in the United States. The study will characterize how PrEP is initiated, used, and discontinued in routine clinical practice when LEN is added as PrEP option and will evaluate persistence on LEN PrEP. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate real-life persistence on LEN PrEP at Week 52 in diverse clinical settings in the United States.

• Willing and able to comply with all study requirements;
• Presents at a study site needing or wanting PrEP for HIV prevention as determined by local clinical practice guidelines and institutional protocols, including new PrEP users (PrEP naïve) and current or former users of oral (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (coformulated; Truvada®; F/TDF) or emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (coformulated; Descovy®; F/TAF)) or injectable (LEN or cabotegravir (CAB)) PrEP who indicate interest in discussing PrEP methods that they are clinically eligible to receive;
• Eligible for LEN PrEP per standard of care procedures, for example, being HIV-1 negative at screening using a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved/cleared test for diagnosis of acute or primary HIV-1 infection;
• After PrEP counseling to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of various PrEP methods:
