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

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a multicomponent strategy for implementing PrEP among individuals incarcerated at the Dallas County Jail. It involves using an electronic medical record HIV prediction model to identify at-risk individuals, who will then receive education about PrEP, HIV/STI testing, and referrals to community-based providers through a patient navigator. The study employs a mixed-methods approach to evaluate both the implementation process and clinical outcomes, utilizing the EPIS framework to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of the strategy's impact on PrEP uptake and related health outcomes.
