Participant Flow

Participants were screened and enrolled at 3 sites in the US (San Francisco, Miami, Washington DC). Enrollment began on October 1, 2012 and ended February 10, 2015.

As this PrEP Demonstration project assessed acceptance of PrEP, all participants assessed for participation are included in the "start" category, and those who enrolled and initiated PrEP are indicated as a separate milestone.
