Pre-exposure prophylaxis may be a viable option for African American women at-risk for HIV infection, but few studies have identified optimal strategies to reach African American women in need of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis nor examined effective strategies to scale-up Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis among African American women in the South. African American women in the South experience high rates of intimate partner violence which could force women to choose between HIV prevention or intimate partner violence prevention. The proposed research study seeks to develop, pilot-test, and evaluate a Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Implementation Toolkit within two community healthcare clinics located in Jackson, Mississippi to increase Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis uptake among African American, address intimate partner violence as a barrier to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis uptake, and ultimately combat racial disparities in women's HIV diagnoses.
