Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Motivation for PrEP
Time Frame: Baseline, Up to 6 weeks
Motivation to use PrEP will be measured with the Contemplation Ladder and the Readiness Ruler, which assess intention to use PrEP and the perceived importance of using PrEP. The Contemplation Ladder and the Readiness Ruler each have a total score range from 0 to 10. Higher scores on the Contemplation Ladder indicate higher levels of contemplation or consideration about PrEP use. Higher scores on the Readiness Ruler indicate higher perceived importance of starting PrEP.
Change in PrEP uptake
Time Frame: Baseline, Up to 6 weeks
PrEP uptake will be verified by the participants' providers.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Knowledge of PrEP(Baseline, Up to 6 weeks)
- Change in Barriers for PrEP(Baseline, Up to 6 weeks)
