Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults (18+) on or initiating LAI-PrEP who identify as Black/Latine and as a cisgender woman or MSM, or as transgender/nonbinary, and who can consent.

Probably not a fit

Participants not experiencing health-related social needs or not linked to eligible community resources may not experience direct benefits from referrals.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study aims to scale up screening for health-related social needs at regular provider visits every four months for individuals on LAI-PrEP. It uses patient navigation and formal connections with two community-based organizations to link participants to resources. An EMR-based tracking system will monitor referrals and outcomes to assess implementation success. The focus is on Black/Latine cisgender women, Black/Latine men who have sex with men, and transgender or nonbinary individuals, with participation open to eligible patients and staff at NYU Langone Health and NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could improve access to social and community resources that support HIV prevention and overall well-being for people on LAI-PrEP.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work in similar community-partnered approaches has shown promise in linking patients to resources, though this exact implementation in LAI-PrEP settings is novel.
