CoMPASS Trial Summary

This trial will study whether contingency management and stepped care can promote HIV prevention among people with opioid use disorder who inject drugs, as well as evaluate the real-world implementation of CoMPASS.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with opioid use disorder who inject drugs and are at risk for HIV. They must meet PrEP eligibility, have a recent negative HIV test, own or share a cell phone, and be willing to complete surveys. Exclusions include non-English speakers without translation support, kidney disease, current PrEP users, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those unable to finish the study.Check my eligibility

CoMPASS Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Contingency Management with stepped care to PrEP Adherence and Support Services (CoMPASS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to Compass will also receive a health handout on HIV risk reduction approaches. They will also receive contingency management sessions (n=9). Participants who do not demonstrate PrEP adherence by week 12, will be "stepped up" to receive PrEP adherence and support services (n=5).
Group II: Treatment as Usual (TAU)Active Control1 Intervention
Participants randomized to TAU will receive a health handout on HIV risk reduction approaches, including PrEP and OUD-related care, and where to access such services. They will receive standard care as provided by the community-based organization and by their medical provider.
