This $286,660 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) aims to finalize intervention materials, clinical protocols, and an implementation plan for a nurse-led, same-day HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) initiation intervention with continuation of care services after incarceration. The grant recipient, Rhode Island Hospital, a division of Lifespan Corporation, will test this intervention through a preliminary randomized controlled trial. The primary outcome is linkage to follow-up care, defined as obtaining a PrEP prescription within six months of release. The findings will inform the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of this scalable approach to increase PrEP uptake and continuity of care among incarcerated individuals at high risk for HIV acquisition.
