Brief Summary

(Effectiveness Aim 1) To test the comparative effectiveness of PreP for WINGS versus PrEP alone on primary outcomes of increasing PrEP initiation measured by self-report/medical records, recent adherence and longer-term adherence by self-report/medical records over the 6-month follow-up; and secondary outcomes of decreasing IPV, hazardous drinking, recidivism, and HIV risks. (Moderation Aim 2) To test if the effectiveness of WINGS+PrEP on study outcomes is moderated by key participant subgroups based on race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, education, incarceration history, IPV severity, substance use disorders (SUDs), digital access and literacy, housing stability, and medical mistrust.

Conditions

HIV Infections; Alcohol Use Disorder; Violence, Gender-Based

Keywords

Intimate partner violence; Hazardous alcohol use; HIV infection; PrEP

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Number of completed PrEP provider meetings (PrEP Initiation)

  Meeting with a PrEP provider to start PrEP once will meet the threshold for PrEP initiation.

  From enrollment (baseline) to the end of 12-month follow up

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Revised Conflict Tactic Scale Score

  From enrollment (baseline) to the end of 12-month follow up

• AUDIT Score

  From enrollment (baseline) to the end of 12-month follow up

Study Arms (2)

PrEP for WINGS (intervention arm)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants randomized to the PrEP for WINGS intervention arm will receive three sessions on a self-paced intervention delivered via a mobile health platform. Session 1 will focus on HIV risk reduction and deliver the PrEP Decision Aid. Sessions 2-3 will involve sessions focused on IPV and alcohol SBIRT sessions with peer navigation that will be completed within a 30 day period (3 sessions total). PrEP for WINGS mHealth sessions may be delivered using smart phones or using tablets available at study data collection sites. Intervention participants will also receive three peer navigation sessions from Community Health Advocates who will help participants trouble shoot any barriers to linking to care, and meeting goals set during the intervention sessions.

Behavioral: PrEP for WINGS

PrEP alone (control arm)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants randomized to the control arm of the study will receive a single session on HIV risk reduction and the patient-centered PrEP Decision Aid. This individual session will be identical to the first session of the PrEP for WINGS three session intervention, and will also be delivered through an online survey platform.

Behavioral: PrEP Decision Aid

Interventions

PrEP Decision Aid BEHAVIORAL

The PrEP Decision Aid will be delivered to participants in the control condition, and focus on helping study participants decide if they should initiate PrEP. This single session will focus on HIV risk reduction, and then launch the patient-centered PrEP Decision Aid. This individual session will be identical to the first session of the PrEP for WINGS three session intervention, and will also be delivered through an online survey platform. In addition, study participants in the control condition will also have one peer navigation session with a Community Health Advocate at the end of the self-paced session to help facilitate linkage to care.

PrEP alone (control arm)

PrEP for WINGS BEHAVIORAL

The PrEP for WINGS intervention involves three sessions of a self-paced and self-directed intervention delivered via a mobile health platform. Session 1 will focus on HIV risk reduction and provide the PrEP Decision Aid, where participants will learn information about PrEP to help them decide if it is appropriate for them. Sessions 2-3 will involve integrated Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) modules focused on IPV and alcohol reduction. The PrEP for WINGS intervention will also involve peer navigation sessions with Community Health Advocates to help intervention participants trouble shoot any barriers to achieving goals they set during the self-paced sessions. The PrEP for WINGS intervention will take place over a 30 day period and Sessions 2-3, and the peer navigation sessions may be delivered using smart phones or using tablets available at study data collection sites.
