Expanding PrEP By Embedding Unannounced SNAPS Navigators in High STI Testing Clinical Sites

"The intervention is multi-level yet, targets the weakest chains in the link of PrEP initiation at safety-net hospitals designed for scalability, sustainability, and implementability across a wide range of settings. It consists of Surveillance by STI testing, Navigation by unannounced patient navigators to the Sexual Health Clinic (SHC), Accelerated follow-up with providers with PrEP expertise, Point-of-care PrEP counseling and laboratory testing, and Seamless, consistent, longitudinal, comprehensive care (SNAPS). SNAPS will selectively target those care settings where PrEP prescribing is particularly rare or absent (eg, OB/GYN). Study team will utilize a quasi- experimental design to compare rates of PrEP uptake overall, PrEP initiation in disproportionately-impacted groups, and PrEP retention pre-versus post-initiation of SNAPS, controlling for secular trends."
