Transmaculine One-on-One and Group Empowerment for Targeted HIV Reduction

PrEP4T is an individualized TMSM-specific intervention adapted from The Fenway Model. PrEP4T consists of online one-on-one sessions between a peer and a participant using a strengths-based case management manualized curriculum. Peer navigators (PNs) share transmasculine community membership with participants and are trained to provide linkages. They use an individualized approach to navigate barriers, apply an assets-based frame to promote resiliencies, and pragmatically leverage these to improve biomedical HIV prevention outcomes. PNs utilize techniques from established behavior change models (e.g., Motivational Interviewing; Transtheoretical Model) in PrEP decision-making.

LS4TM is a theory-based peer-delivered small group-based behavioral intervention to reduce HIV risk and address mental health-related effects of stigma for TMSM. Groups will be led by trained peer navigator staff and comprise no more than 10 participants per cohort.
