Summary
HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) rates are increasing in rural areas including rural Colorado. Many rural residents find it difficult to access HIV and STI prevention services.
In this study, an online survey on HIV and STI Prevention and best practices to provide access to prevention will be administered to rural residents in three zip 3 zones in rural Colorado. In addition to the baseline survey, study participants who are interested and medically eligible may initiate PrEP services with the University of Colorado HIV Prevention Program and receive PrEP through telemedicine visits, mailed home lab kits, and mailed medication. Persistence in PrEP care, acceptability, and feasibility of telemedicine and home lab kits will be measured.
Description
HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) rates are increasing in rural areas including rural Colorado. Many rural residents find it difficult to access HIV and STI prevention services. The goal of this study is to understand the risk for HIV and STIs, views on PrEP, and to determine if access to telemedicine visits and home lab kits increases engagement in PrEP services and persistence in care for at-risk rural populations.
An online survey on HIV and STI Prevention and best practices to provide access to prevention will be administered to rural residents in three zip 3 zones in rural Colorado, comprised of increased proportions of minority residents (Hispanic, Native American, and Black). In addition to the baseline survey, study participants who are interested and medically eligible may initiate PrEP services with the University of Colorado HIV Prevention Program and receive PrEP through telemedicine visits, mailed home lab kits, and mailed medication. Persistence in PrEP care, acceptability, and feasibility of telemedicine and home lab kits will be measured through baseline and follow-up survey questionnaires and clinical chart reviews for those engaged in PrEP care.
