This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $680,644 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to evaluate the "Healthy Families-PREP" intervention. This intervention aims to promote the use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among periconception, pregnant, and postpartum women in rural Uganda to reduce HIV incidence. The 5-year project will first adapt the 3-session intervention for community clinics and postpartum women through qualitative research (Aim 1). It will then conduct a cluster-randomized controlled trial with 600 women planning pregnancy at 10 health centers to evaluate the intervention's effectiveness (Aim 2). Key outcomes will include PrEP initiation, adherence, and protective dosing levels over 9 months. This research seeks to develop an effective strategy to prevent HIV transmission among high-risk perinatal women in a resource-limited setting.
