âCharacterizing the HIV PrEP Care Continuum for African
American and Hispanic/Latino Men Who Have Sex with Menâ
Aim 1: Characterize the PrEP care continuum using an open, prospective cohort of 450 MSM in real-world
clinical settings in three cities (St. Louis MO, Jackson MI, and Providence RI).
- Assess patients who are: 1) retained and sub-optimally adherent (assessed by dried blood spots); 2)
retained and optimally adherent; 3) not retained in PrEP care; and 4) no longer clinically indicated for PrEP.
- Measure structural, social and individual-level factors associated with optimal and suboptimal adherence
and retention in PrEP care, with a focus on African American & Hispanic/Latino MSM.
- Assess entry and exit into the PrEP care continuum over time.
Aim 2: Measure the impact of suboptimal retention in care and adherence on population-level HIV incidence.
- Perform microsimulations using our real-world adherence and retention in care data to evaluate the impact
on HIV incidence in three US cities (Providence, St. Louis, and Jackson).
