The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support an implementation research study.
In this study, optimal strategies will be assessed for a postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) in pocket (PiP) approach for prevention of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among disproportionately
credit:
affected populations, for example, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW).
The recipient will implement and evaluate a comprehensive strategy to integrate PEP packs as a component of existing PrEP and STI clinical services.
PEP packs will include a supply of antiretroviral medication for nonoccupational PEP (nPEP), doxycycline for STI PEP (DoxyPEP), HIV and STI self-test kits, and instruction materials.
Study clinics should be in communities with high rates of HIV diagnoses among disproportionately affected populations, for example, Black and Hispanic MSM and TGW.
