HIV Prevention Program

The purpose of this project is to test a culturally-tailored, community-delivered long-acting injectable PrEP (lenacapavir) program for Latine gay and bisexual men (GBM) and transgender women (TGW). The objective is to evaluate whether this intervention demonstrates greater persistence on lenacapavir for Latine GBM and TGW compared with what has been observed historically at the Duke PrEP Clinic.

In this study, 50 pediatricians will participate in academic detailing, an evidence-based, 1-on-1 outreach education technique intended to promote clinician behavior change through brief, highly interactive, and individualized dialogues with trained educators, or "detailers". The goals of this study are to learn about whether this is a practical and acceptable technique, and whether it changes how pediatricians prescribe pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to adolescents and young adults (AYA) and how patients take it.
