Reducing HIV Risk With High Risk HIV Negative Black MSM-Passport to Wellness (PtW)
Passport to Wellness-Full Intervention Phase
The proposed research study will focus on Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) who
- are HIV- or unknown status AND
- have not received HIV testing in over a year or
- who test irregularly (on 9/21/2016, the protocol was changed to modify the last to criteria and focus on those who have not used PrEP in the prior six months).
and implement an innovative, culturally-informed, peer-based, and client-centered approach that is designed to increase their awareness of their HIV status and their timely entry into prevention (including PrEP), testing, care, and treatment services. The research design compares the effect of an incentives-only approach to one that uses incentives, along with the involvement of peer mentors to support timely entry into prevention, testing, care and treatment. This phase of the study is designed to assess peer-supported intervention group versus a passport/incentive-only control group over an 18-month period using a randomized trial approach.

Detailed Description
The proposed research study focuses on BMSM who have not received HIV testing in over a year, or who test irregularly, and implement an innovative, culturally-informed, peer-based, and client-centered approach that is designed to increase their awareness of their HIV status and their timely entry into prevention, care, and treatment services. On 9/21/2016, the protocol was changed to focus on those who have not used PrEP in the prior six months.
The research design compares the effect of an incentives-only approach to one that uses incentives, along with the involvement of peer mentors to support timely entry into prevention, testing, care and treatment. This phase of the study is designed to assess peer-supported intervention group versus a passport/incentive-only control group over an 18-month period using a randomized trial approach.
The Specific Aims of the full intervention phase are:
2 (Modified). To assess the effectiveness of a peer-supported, incentivized, and client-centered approach (PtW) compared to a non-peer supported, incentivized, and client-centered approach (Control) for linking at-risk BMSM to biomedical (PEP, STD testing), structural or behavioral services that support HIV prevention and care.
2a. Hypothesis: the peer-supported model (PtW) will lead to more frequent and earlier linkages to services than the non-peer supported model (Control).
2b. Hypothesis: the peer-supported model (PtW) will lead to greater reductions in HIV risk behaviors than the non-peer-supported model (Control).
3 (NEW). To assess the effectiveness of a peer-supported, incentivized, and client-centered approach (PtW) compared to a non-peer supported, incentivized, and client-centered approach (Control) for linking at-risk BMSM to PrEP services.
3a. Hypothesis: the peer-supported model (PtW) will lead to more frequent receipt of PrEP education and consultations than the non-peer-supported model (Control) 3b. Hypothesis: the peer-supported model (PtW) will lead to more frequent uptake of PrEP (defined as taking PrEP at six month follow-up) than the non-peer-supported model (Control).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Control-Passport Only
Complete a needs assessment and develop a written "Passport to Wellness," an itemized set of health promoting behaviors and services aligned with lifestyle and goals.
Participants are compensated based on the items they complete, services they attend.
|
A trained staff member will use a needs assessment and the participant's own priorities to develop a 'Passport to Wellness,' a personalized set of services whose access may encourage HIV prevention or address barriers to HIV testing. Example passport items include: getting an HIV test, attending an informational session about PEP/PrEP, meeting with a PrEP provider, attending 12-step meetings, yoga classes, a massage or Reiki session, or reviewing specific HIV prevention information online. Participants will be incentivized for each passport item they complete.
Other Names:
|
Experimental: Intervention-Passport and Peer Mentor
In addition to the "Passport to Wellness" developed with project staff, study participants will select a peer mentor trained in motivational interviewing.
The peer mentor will help guide the participant to complete passport items.
Part of passport development will include compensation for meeting with peer mentors to form strategies for meeting goals and addressing barriers/challenges that arise.
