What this trial studies

This initiative aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a bundled implementation strategy called the Five Point Initiative (FPI) in enhancing HIV testing, increasing access to Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and promoting condom use in predominantly Black communities in Miami. The study will involve community events at key local venues such as barbershops and grocery stores, where participants will be surveyed before and after the intervention. The goal is to assess changes in knowledge and behavior related to HIV prevention and treatment.
