Measure
Cohort H (PrEP)
Participants in the H cohort will be provided with a CPP (customized prevention package) including daily Truvada-based PrEP(Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis). High Risk Cohort Criteria (one or more of the following has to be met): 1. No condom use during anal intercourse with ≥3 male sex partners who are HIV-positive or of unknown HIV status during the last three months. 2. STI diagnosis during the last 12 months. 3. Previous PEP use during the last 12 months (\* see exclusion criteria) 4. Has at least one HIV infected sexual partner for ≥4 weeks. emtricitabine 200mg/tenofovir 300mg: The intervention medication will be tenofovir + emtricitabine, provided as a fixed-dose combination tablet as Truvada®. Dosing is 1 tablet by mouth once daily. For participants with a a confirmed (i.e. two consecutive) reduction in CrCl to \<50 mL/min, Truvada will be dose-reduced to 1 tablet by mouth every other day. For patients with creatinine clearance \<30 mL/min, Truvada will be discontinued.
Cohort LM (PEP)
Participants who do not meet criteria for High Risk (Cohort H) will be assigned to the LM (low moderate) cohort and will receive a customized prevention package based on baseline assessments (in the same manner as the Cohort H Participants). In addition, they will receive education on the availability and use of post-exposure prophylaxis. emtricitabine 200mg/tenofovir 300mg: The intervention medication will be tenofovir + emtricitabine, provided as a fixed-dose combination tablet as Truvada®. Dosing is 1 tablet by mouth once daily. For participants with a a confirmed (i.e. two consecutive) reduction in CrCl to \<50 mL/min, Truvada will be dose-reduced to 1 tablet by mouth every other day. For patients with creatinine clearance \<30 mL/min, Truvada will be discontinued.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 48 weeks

Optimal adherence to daily oral emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate by study visit as measured by tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) in dried blood spots (DBS). Optimal adherence is defined as TFV-DP levels great than or equal to 700 femtomoles per punch in DBS samples (approximately 4 or more doses a week over the past 60 days).
