Summary

This project collaborates with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) to develop and test a field-based comprehensive sexual health intervention for HIV-exposed contacts notified by its Partner Services (i.e., HIV contact tracing) program. The goal of the study is to develop and test the impact of this new intervention on improving rates of HIV testing, linkage to HIV prevention/care, and PrEP uptake among highest risk contacts recently exposed to HIV. We will conduct a 6-month pilot project, followed by a cross-sectional stepped wedge cluster randomized trial in which 12 clusters of NYC neighborhoods are exposed to the intervention sequentially, with three clusters moving from control to intervention every 6 months (n = 1150). Primary outcomes are HIV testing, timely PrEP/ARV uptake, and linkage to PrEP/HIV care. Secondary outcomes are STD testing and receipt of STD treatment (if indicated).

Interventions

OTHER

Fast Track Partner Services-Sexual Health Intervention

The Partner Services-Sexual Health Intervention enhances the current standard of care by introducing four service innovations to the DOHMH Partner Services program: (1) enhanced field-based combination HIV and STI testing; (2) immediate field-based ARV/PrEP start; (3) navigation to a sexual health clinic for test results and treatment; and (4) enhanced linkage support to facilitate ongoing PrEP or HIV care.

OTHER

Partner Services Standard of Care

Participants in neighborhoods that have not yet been assigned to the intervention condition in the stepped wedge trial will receive standard Partner Services components, including field-based HIV testing and referral to clinical sites for HIV prevention or treatment.
