Trial Outcomes & Findings for Connecting Resources for Urban Sexual Health (NCT NCT02183909)

NCT ID: NCT02183909

Last Updated: 2024-12-12

Results Overview

Expanding the investigators currently successful HIV testing strategy-collaborations and systems of referral of new cases of HIV from existing partners-so that referrals are also received for high risk negatives to receive sexual health services. Implementing two new strategies: social network testing and a youth outreach corps working with partner agencies; it is hypothesized that social network testing will increase the proportion of positive test results.

Testing and linkage to care for YMSM: Implementation of strategies to enhance testing and linkage to care of YMSM, including social network testing and a youth outreach corps working with existing and new community partner agencies. Engagement and retention for HIV-positive YMSM in care: Optimizing current HIV care and treatment services at DYC by implementing a patient peer mentoring component, a linkage and retention specialist, and psychosocial support for program staff. Engagement and retention for HIV-negative YMSM in sexual health services: Offering a highly effective combination HIV prevention strategy, including PrEP; warm-hand offs for high-risk negatives, nPEP; risk reduction counseling; frequent HIV and STI testing, including testing a highly sensitive method of detecting early HIV infection; and youth-focused programming. Stribild PEP Substudy: 28 days of once-daily Stribild® initiated within 72 hours of a high risk sexual exposure for HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
