PrEP4U: Lenacapavir for HIV Prevention
This study, called PrEP4U, is looking at better ways to help people stick with HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) using an injectable medicine called lenacapavir. We want to see if giving you a choice in where you have your follow-up appointments (like at home or in the community, instead of always at the clinic) helps you continue using PrEP for longer. You can join if you are HIV-negative, eligible for PrEP, willing to receive lenacapavir injections, and live in Massachusetts. The main goal is to see how many people are still using PrEP at 6 months. We are currently unclear about the study's recruitment status, but it plans to enroll 400 people.
- Study design
- This is a randomized study, meaning participants will be assigned by chance to one of two groups, with 400 participants planned.
- What's involved
- You would receive injectable lenacapavir and follow study procedures, including follow-up appointments for 6 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for PrEP persistence at 6 months (26 weeks).
