Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation ( e.g. training, reach, acceptability) of a a youth friendly pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) peer mentorship program for Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA). This program will include the use of PrEP focused peer-mentors for education on HIV risk and on PrEP as well as for support for those who end up starting PrEP. This will be an adaptation from the HIV peer mentor program which has been successfully utilized at the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) to improve on the outcomes of Adolescents Living with HIV. Investigators use the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation and Sustainment (EPIS) implementation science framework to guide our research process and address our implementation aims. We will use both qualitative (key stakeholder focus group discussions (FGDs)) and quantitative data collection methods (electronic health records (EHR) review) to evaluate the acceptability and change in knowledge and number of adolescents.
