Key Activities:

High Priority and Disruptively Innovative

  1. Develop high-risk assessment tool such as a questionnaire, survey, or billboard to help people to identify their high-risk behaviors. Use the tool to encourage individuals to seek treatment.
  2. Advertise PrEP in “hook-up” apps in pop-up ads and in social media apps.
  3. Advertise PrEP on billboards in high-visibility areas for high-risk individuals.
  4. Develop slogans.
  5. Create a questionnaire/assessment to assess the client’s history of trauma so that they can receive “trauma-informed care”; the assessment is to be completed by all individuals (e.g., case managers) who have contact with patients for HIV care and PrEP.
  6. Use case managers for clients receiving PrEP to help guide the process, help with challenges, and remind clients about tests and medication.
  7. PrEP navigators will help clients to access coverage in their insurance policies.
