Empower Your Health. Help Us Learn. Shape HIV Prevention for Women.
A research study designed to learn how to improve PrEP awareness, access, and adherence among young women. Participants will complete a survey about their knowledge, attitudes, and experiences with PrEP, and may be invited to participate in additional study activities. Your insights can help design better prevention tools, resources, and services that meet the needs of women like you.
