HIV Prevention Peer Navigation for Justice Involved Women

The control arm will be standard-of-care, which is as-needed case management for justice-involved women. The goals of case management services are to reduce recidivism, mitigate behavioral challenges, strengthen public safety, and build self-sufficiency skills. Case managers refer clients to appropriate services in the community (e.g., housing, food).

kINSHIP is a peer-led navigator intervention to address intersectional stigma and improve PrEP treatment initiation and engagement for justice-involved women. The key components of the kINSHIP intervention are to: 1) increase social support; 2) increase self-efficacy in accessing PrEP services; 3) enhance access to healthcare services; 4) improve adaptive coping skills to manage experiences of intersectional stigma.
