SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit 3- Day 30

Adherence to the regimen will be assessed by whether the regimen was completed as prescribed or not. χ2 tests will be used to assess differences in the proportion of both completion and adherence between participants in the current study and participants in previous studies of NPEP at Fenway Health (historical controls).
