Development of A Group PrEP Care Model

Right now, Black women are getting HIV more often than any other group of women. This project aims to reduce new HIV cases in Black women in Chicago to zero by 2030.

Many PrEP programs target men and transgender women, but few focus on Black women.

Goals of the project include:

  • Highlighting the impact of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), for preventing HIV.
  • Adapting a group care model Centering Healthcare to provide PrEP care for Black women to facilitate community empowered care.
  • Using ADAPT-ITT to collaboratively and iteratively adapt the model for Black women.
  • Preparing for a larger study to determine feasibility and acceptability of C-PrEP+ among Black women
