How will the way PrEP is explained impact understanding and HIV risk perception?

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) refers to HIV-negative individuals taking anti-HIV medications every day, in order to reduce their likelihood of getting infected if they are exposed to the virus. PrEPARE NYC is designed to examine different ways of presenting information about PrEP to people who might be interested in using it, to find out what types of messages have the best impact on understanding, acceptability, and risk perception. We want to raise awareness about PrEP among men in NYC, and we want to learn from them what they need to make decisions about their health.
