Addressing Health Disparities in Engagement, Retention, and Utilization of PrEP Among South Florida Women of Color

This intervention originally developed for people living with HIV (PLWH), is designed to promote engagement, retention, and adherence to treatment by addressing the social determinants of health that often act as barrier to remaining in care and achieving viral suppression. Based on our experience with this intervention we believe that it is well suited to similarly promote engagement, retention, and utilization of PrEP care among our proposed target population of WOC by a) removing barriers to care and b) addressing unmet needs by providing c) point-to-point linkage to care services delivered by multi-disciplinary teams of individuals within or outside of the health facility, and d) the use of telehealth visits to facilitate engagement in care and improve health visit attendance. The original iENGAGE is a 4-session, in-clinic behavioral intervention.
