Study for IFE4PrEP Intervention on PrEP Uptake by Southern African American Women

Purpose: This study is partnering with communities to identify the best ways to provide HIV prevention communication and services for women living in public housing who have been disproportionately affected by HIV but underserved by current HIV prevention programs. The investigators want to work with community members to develop and design the delivery of a program to promote awareness of and access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention among women living in public housing. Participants: Up to 248 cisgender females who are 18 years of age or older and currently reside in Durham Housing Authority (DHA) housing will be enrolled in this study at UNC. Procedures (methods): Data collection for this formative study will consist of 4 focus groups of up to 12 women in each focus group living in DHA as well as a survey of 200 women living in DHA.
