Brief Summary
Taking a daily anti-HIV pill can protect people from HIV infection. This is called preexposure prophylaxis \[PrEP\]. Many cisgender women and trans individuals do not know this medication is available; others struggle to take the pill every day. It is important to understand attitudes and preferences about HIV prevention options, especially as new options become available. This study plans to evaluate preferences over time among cisgender women and trans individuals who are taking medication to prevent HIV, and among cisgender women and trans individuals who are not taking medication but are at risk of HIV. The investigators enroll up to 175 participants who visit the HIV prevention clinic, and the investigators will ask participants to complete questionnaires at regular follow up visits and between visits. This study may help the investigators understand how best to prevent HIV among people at risk.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Correlation Between PrEP modality preference and PrEP initiation/persistence in care
Description of CWTI's preferences for different PrEP modalities and the relationship between preference and PrEP initiation/persistence in care. Preferences are evaluated using questionnaires developed by the study team; questions include ranked choice and Likert score responses. Persistence in care is measured by using the electronic medical record to track sexual health care visits over study period.
12 months
PrEP Measurement Preferences Scale Score
CWTI's experience with and preferences regarding laboratory measurement techniques for PrEP. Preferences are evaluated based on a questionnaire developed by the study team; acceptability, feasibility, and perceived usefulness of varying PrEP measurement techniques are evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale. Scores range from 0 to 5, with a higher score indicating greater acceptability, feasibility, and usefulness.
12 months
Percentage of participants on PrEP who remain engaged in sexual health care
Effect of individualized feedback on retention in care at 12 months. Retention in care is measured by using the electronic medical record to track sexual health care visits over the study period. Outcome will be measured by percentage of participants on PrEP who remain engaged in sexual health care (attending visits) at study center through 12 months after enrollment.

Study Arms (1)
Cisgender Women and Trans Individuals (CWTI)
OTHERCisgender women and trans individuals (CWTI) who are taking PrEP, have considered and decided not to take PrEP, or who have discontinued PrEP.
Interventions
Participants taking PrEP will receive questionnaires regarding self-reported weekly PrEP adherence; they will then receive individualized text-message or email feedback based on their self-reported adherence.
