- Adherence to PrEP over time [ Time Frame: At each of the 7 study visits post PrEP perscrition spread over the duration of the study (up to six months) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]This is primarily a feasiblity pilot RCT. However, the primary eventual endpoint is PrEP adherence measured daily via electronic medication adherence monitoring (Wisepill™).
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Sexual Risk Compensation [ Time Frame: At each of the 9 study visits spread over up to six months. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]This is primarily a feasiblity RCT. Sexual risk compensation is defined as a potential change in sexual risk taking behaviors (unprotected anal sex).
