Getting to Zero Among HHI MSM in the American South

Официальное название

Getting to Zero Among Highest HIV Incidence (HHI) Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM) in the American South: Testing an Integrated Strategy

Обзор

This study will evaluate a status-neutral integrated strategy to improve access to and uptake of HIV prevention and treatment services for the highest HIV incidence (HHI) men who have sex with men (MSM) in participating communities. The ultimate goal is to establish a strategy to reduce HIV incidence among HHI MSM in the southern United States (US) by increasing the number of HHI MSM accessing prevention and treatment services, increasing uptake and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among those living without HIV and increasing retention in care, and thus viral suppression, among those living with HIV.

Вмешательства

• Поведенческое Health Access Coalitions
  This component will use a community coalition program as its base model for reducing structural barriers, shaping community social norms and raising awareness to reduce HIV among HHI MSM. This will be achieved through: 1) facilitating a reduction in social, structural, and policy barriers to HIV testing, PrEP, and viral suppression through fostering collective efficacy, promoting norms within the local service sectors (e.g., social, legal, economic, etc.), and advancing advocacy efforts that sup
• Поведенческое Social Media
  A robust social media strategy will be used to reach and engage HHI MSM throughout each participating community. Utilizing a multitude of social media communication and marketing tactics, social media content will be used to educate and empower HHI MSM so that they can make informed decisions and behavioral changes to stop HIV acquisition and transmission, with emphasis on accessing HIV prevention and treatment services, the uptake of PrEP and the importance of staying engaged in care and achiev
• Поведенческое Peer Support
  Peer supporters, who may possess a shared and/or lived experience, will provide HHI MSM with emotional and practical support, using a HIV-status neutral approach, as well as share information on locally available sexual health and HIV-related resources and support services. Peers may provide support in-person or virtually and may be housed at local community-based organizations. In addition, when appropriate, the use of PHASE HCFs will be encouraged for those seeking healthcare services.
• Поведенческое Promoting Human Autonomy Support & Empathy (PHASE)
  The PHASE component is an HCF-level practice improvement program designed to enhance the provision of healthcare services for HHI MSM. PHASE aims to create an autonomy-supportive healthcare environment that supports HHI MSM engagement in HIV-related care and services and helps to promote increased HIV and sexually transmitted infection testing, PrEP and antiretroviral therapy uptake, retention in care, and viral suppression rates for HHI MSM. The primary study outcomes will be collected at all H
