Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Test-to-PrEP

Participants, called Egos, will come once to the clinic throughout the duration of the study, for up to 1 hour. During the visit, participants will receive up to 4 Test-to-PrEP Packs, which include an HIV self-test kit and HIV prevention education materials and a brief (approximately 15 minutes) training. The training includes instructions on how to initiate conversations related to HIV, HIV testing, and HIV prevention, as well as proper handling of the HIV self-test kit. Participants are asked to distribute the Test-to-PrEP Packs to Social Network Contacts (peers), called Alters.

BEHAVIORAL

Access by Referral

Participants, called Egos, will receive up to 4 Access by Referral Cards once. Participants will receive a brief (approximately 15 minutes) training. The training includes instructions on how to initiate conversations related to HIV, HIV testing, and HIV prevention, as well as proper handling of the HIV self-test kit. Participants are asked to distribute the Access by Referral Cards to Social Network Contacts (peers), also called Alters. The Referral Card can be used to order a Test-to-PrEP Pack, including the HIV self-test and HIV prevention education material, that will be mailed to an address of the Alter's choice.
