Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of HIV-negative YMSM taking part in PSS intervention who adhere to PrEP medication
Up to 33 months
Study Arms (2)
ARM A: Proteus Sensor System (PSS) First
ACTIVE COMPARATORARM A will receive Proteus Sensor System (PSS) first. At 12-week intervals participants will crossover to the next condition.
ARM B: SOC First
NO INTERVENTIONARM B will 12 weeks of FTC/TDS standard of care (SOC) first. At 12-week intervals participants will crossover to the next condition.
Interventions
The Proteus Sensor System (PSS) intervention includes 12 weeks of daily FTC/TDF with a weekly text messages transmitted to participants with estimated HIV risk reduction based upon the DBS algorithm.

- Will share
Findings from this study will provide pharmacokinetic data along with evidence of the feasibility and acceptability of the novel Proteus adherence monitoring system for use among young MSM who are highly vulnerable to HIV infection. Audiences for dissemination are: 1) scientists; 2) primary and secondary prevention practitioners; and 3) YMSM, their partners, and their friends/families. Traditional dissemination vehicles will be used including manuscripts and presentations at international and national meetings. To facilitate integration of the findings into the public health arena, the protocol team will work closely with their YAB and present findings in forums attended by community-based organizations, such as local PrEP trainings and workshops.
