Project Description
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly efficacious, user-controlled, evidence-based HIV prevention option, which has not been rolled out for key populations in India. The present study will provide crucial information about how to engage and retain highly stigmatized populations in PrEP care in India by testing the acceptability, feasibility, and sustainability of an adapted WHO E-PrEP implementation tool. The findings from this implementation science study will aid in the scale-up of sustainable interventions to reduce HIV disparities among stigmatized groups across India.
