Study Summary

This trial is trying to find a way to help women in primary care learn more about and use a method called pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV infection.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for cisgender women who are HIV negative, not currently using PrEP, and engaged in primary care. They must have been tested at least twice in the past year or diagnosed with certain STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis within the last six months.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests an educational tool called EMC2 PrEP to see if it helps increase knowledge and use of HIV prevention methods. It also looks at organizing a dedicated visit for discussing PrEP as part of this strategy.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on education and scheduling strategies rather than medication, there are no direct side effects from interventions being studied.

Active Control

Group I: The EMC2 PrEP StrategyActive Control2 Interventions

The EMC2 PrEP Strategy will utilize health information and consumer technologies to automatically deposit an interactive PrEP educational material into the patient portal of women with clinically indicated increased vulnerability to HIV. The material will: 1) promote PrEP knowledge, and 2) prompt discrete scheduling of a dedicated PrEP visit among those interested.

Group II: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention

Usual care includes: 1) no specific materials to promote PrEP knowledge or uptake among women in primary care, and 2) variable physician counseling on PrEP among women with increased vulnerability to HIV.
