About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand what patients and physicians think about providing medications to prevent HIV transmission to patients in a family planning clinic. These medications are known as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP. The main questions to answer are:

1. Do patients find it acceptable to be asked about, and offered, PrEP during their visit to a family planning clinic? 2. What things make it easier or harder to ask about PrEP in a family planning clinic setting? 3. What things make it easier or harder to begin PrEP in a family planning clinic setting?

Patient participants:

1. Will receive standardized counseling about PrEP. 2. Will have the opportunity to begin PrEP as part of their routine, ongoing care. 3. Will be asked to complete a survey about their experiences.

Physician participants:

1. Will receive standardized education about PrEP. 2. Will talk to patient participants about PrEP, and support patient participants who want to begin PrEP. 3. Will be asked to complete pre-and post-study surveys about their experiences. 4. May be asked to complete a post-study in-depth interview about their experiences.
