The objective is to evaluate whether this intervention demonstrates greater persistence on lenacapavir for Latine GBM and TGW compared with what has been observed historically at the Duke PrEP Clinic.
Being studied: Lenacapavir long-acting
Conditions: HIV Prevention; HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis; HIV Prevention Program; HIV Prevention and Care; HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Use
