Implantable Long-Acting Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis For MSM

Description

The long-term goal of this project is to better understand factors at the patient and physician level that can be addressed to impact uptake of long-acting, implantable PrEP (LA-PrEP) products in the future and identify the training needs of physicians. This project specifically focuses on men who have sex with men (MSM) seen in primary care settings in Texas. The main objective of this project is to examine perspectives of MSM and physicians in Texas regarding LA-PrEP, including attitudes and barriers to use and implementation by interviewing patients and physicians from the same clinical practices.
