Reducing Intersectional Stigma Among High-Risk Women in Brazil to Promote Uptake of HIV Testing and PrEP

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a randomized controlled trial of a multi-level intervention to prevent HIV acquisition among transgender women (N=400) in São Paulo, Brazil. The intervention will be evaluated using a randomized wait-list controlled trial to compare uptake of HIV testing (self-testing and clinic-based) (Aim 1), PrEP initiation and persistence (Aim 2), and other prevention services (e.g. harm reduction) among trans women in the intervention arm compared to those in the control arm with data collection scheduled every three-months. Investigators will assess changes in intersectional stigma (Aim 3), including reductions in internalized stigma and increased resilience to anticipated and enacted stigma, among those assigned to intervention compared to those assigned to the control arm, and assess how changes in stigma result in prevention uptake.
