Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Rapid Access

'Rapid PrEP Access' is a low-threshold intervention designed to provide on-site access to HIV self-testing at the Victory Program for persons who use opioids.

After enrollment the research assistant (RA) will provide the participant with a HIV self-test and provide instructions on how to obtain a proper sample for the test. It uses an oral fluid test and yields results within 20 minutes.

HIV Dried blood spot (DBS) testing provides an accurate method of measuring the HIV viral load in comparison to plasma viral load.
