This study, called "Prepping for The Talk," aims to help young men aged 14-17 who have oral or anal sex with other assigned males to talk more openly with trusted adults about sexual health, including how to prevent HIV. The study involves one-on-one conversations via video with a trained professional. Some participants will receive individualized information about HIV risk reduction, including PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis, a medicine to prevent HIV), and use motivational interviewing to discuss barriers to PrEP. Others will receive general information about condom use, STI (sexually transmitted infection) testing, and PrEP. The study hopes to see if these conversations improve how youth and adults communicate about sexual health after four weeks. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 40 participants.
