Patient Navigation (PN)
This intervention consists of standardized health educational materials and manualized sessions that can be implemented based on a participant's stage in the PrEP continuum. The intervention will utilize bilingual peer lay navigators and also consist of barrier reduction strategies to assist individuals with implementing HIV prevention, including the use of PrEP. Patient Navigation: Spanish-English bilingual peer lay navigators hired by Family Health Centers of San Diego will provide the PN intervention during the study, trained using manuals developed in formative research and via the Patient Navigation Research Program training approach. Services will generally focus on: 1) overcoming community, health system, interpersonal, and individual barriers to accessing PrEP-related healthcare; 2) increasing each patient's knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy for initiating and adhering to PrEP; 3) improving communication between the patient and healthcare team through appointment scheduling and reminders; and 4) sexual risk reduction counseling.
Usual Care (UC)
Participants in this condition will receive the CDC's 2-page PrEP Information Sheet in the participant's preferred language (either English or Spanish). Usual Care: The booklet given is a 2-page booklet including the following information: 1) overview of PrEP; 2) eligibility for PrEP; 3) efficacy of PrEP; 4) safety of PrEP; and 5) obtaining, initiating, and adhering to PrEP. Participants will also be provided with both verbal and written information regarding available sexual health and HIV prevention services, including PrEP, at Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD). Comprehensive HIV-prevention healthcare, including PrEP, is available to study participants at FHCSD at no or minimal cost. If a UC participant is diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection, including HIV, treatment and follow-up will be coordinated by FHCSD staff as per usual care procedures.

Some participants obtained a PrEP prescription outside of the 3-month follow up timeframe (i.e., prior to their previous assessment), but did not fill their prescription at that time. These participants responded "No" to obtaining a PrEP prescription in the last 3-months, but "Yes" to filling their prescription in the last 3 months.

A participant notified the study team that he was diagnosed with HIV and would like to discontinue participation in the study. The study team is uncertain of the exposure or diagnosis date. This information is Protected Health Information and the participant does not wish to continue participating, thus we will not have access to medical records for the exact date of the adverse event.
