PrEP eligible participants will be asked to follow up monthly for 12 months. PrEP will be prescribed for once-daily use and discontinued if HIV tests are positive. At quarterly visits, participants will receive Integrated Next Steps Counseling (iNSC) for PrEP adherence with point-of-care drug level feedback. Participants will receive iNSC Support Level 1 to address PrEP adherence and sexual health needs. Those with urine tenofovir levels \<1500 ng/mL will receive iNSC Support Level 2, in which participant responses to two 7-item questionnaires on PrEP adherence and sexual health will guide problem solving on improved dosing. Medication refills will consist of 3-month supplies.
