简要总结
Youth represent the largest proportion of new HIV infections in Colorado, reflective of their inadequate access and uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis(PrEP)for HIV prevention. Colorado's 2019 HIV/AIDS Prevention Program state-wide review of PrEP barriers showed PrEP eligible individuals do not access PrEP services due to lack of interest, not wanting referral to a navigator, and low estimation of HIV risk. The overall goal is to provide youth at higher risk for HIV with an effective youth informed telemedicine delivery of PrEP (TelePrEP) that addresses PrEP barriers and contributes to ending the HIV epidemic in Colorado. The primary objective will be proportion of youth retained on PrEP 12 months after initiation. The hypotheses are that a TelePrEP model for youth will be acceptable and feasible and will result in successful initiation, persistence and retention on oral PrEP.

研究组 & 干预措施
Telemedicine for pre-exposure prophylaxis of HIV
- We will identify youth potentially eligibile for PrEP using tenfovir alefenamide/emtricitabine (TAF/FTC).
- Eligible youth will be contacted for rapid (same day) consenting and enrollment.
- Participants who consent to the study will undergo a PrEP initiation visit either the same day or within two weeks with a provider. The initial visit may be in-person or via Telemedicine.
- TelePrEP visits may be carried out in the setting of the participant's choosing and may include home or at a community organization.
- Recommended laboratory testing will be arranged as part of the PrEP initiation visit. HIV testing will be carried out as well as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-recommended laboratory testing will be obtained.
- TelePrEP(or in-person visits as needed) will be conducted by a skilled multidisciplinary team one month after initiation and then every three months.
干预措施: TelePrEP (Other)
结局指标
主要结局

时间窗: 48 weeks
Retention on PrEP at week 48. Retention in PrEP care 12 months after initiation as defined by either PrEP clinic visit (telehealth or in-person) or prescription refill.
