Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Implementation in Central-Eastern European Countries

To stem increasing rates of HIV among gay and bisexual men in Central-Eastern Europe, the feasibility, acceptability, and early efficacy of a culturally adapted evidence-based program to introduce pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) into Romania's healthcare practice will be established. PrEP Romania, a hybrid in-person + mHealth PrEP uptake and adherence program, aims to empower gay and bisexual men and their healthcare system to adopt PrEP and support adherence. Findings can inform evidence-based PrEP rollout in other Central-Eastern European countries with similar levels of unpreparedness for biomedical prevention.
