Development and implementation of peer-facilitated decision-making and referral support to increase uptake and adherence to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis in African Caribbean and Black communities in Ontario
FY 2023-24
Summary
My proposed research is primarily focused on HIV prevention among African Caribbean and Black (ACB) communities in Canada. I have proposed to develop, implement and evaluate a theory-driven intervention model to increase the acceptance, uptake and use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention in ACB communities in Ontario. The overall aim of
my research proposal is to increase the proportion of PrEP-eligible ACBs who will adopt and use PrEP for HIV prevention. The outcome of my research will lead to increase in uptake of HIV testing, increase in use of PrEP for HIV prevention, and ultimately decrease in number of new HIV infection among ACB communities in Ontario and Canada. The short term and long
term goals of my project is relevant to the overall mandate of the CIHR HIV/AIDS and STBBI research initiative as it addresses HIV prevention among key population in Canada. My proposal aligns with the Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada, Pan-Canadian STBBI framework, and Canada's action Plan on STBBI
