Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective HIV prevention tool but is not widely accessed by women. Women in the southern United States account for 55% of annual HIV diagnoses, and violence and trauma are consistently linked with increased HIV risk in these women. The long-term goal is to establish a new treatment delivery model that integrates biomedical HIV prevention services into mental health care settings, thus removing individual and provider- level barriers to PrEP care for women with trauma-related conditions who are at risk for HIV through problematic substance use or risky sexual behaviors. The overall objectives are to (i) elucidate individual and provider level barriers to PrEP uptake and adherence and, guided by the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model, (ii) establish a mental health clinic-based behavioral intervention for increasing PrEP uptake and adherence in this population. The central hypothesis is that, compared to standard treatment, an intervention delivered within the mental health treatment setting that integrates knowledge, behavioral skills, and motivation to engage in and adhere to PrEP care will result in a greater proportion of participants who fill their first PrEP prescription. In Year 1, we will conduct Stage 1A research to identify key issues to address in developing the integrated treatment. Interview data obtained from women undergoing mental health treatment for trauma-related conditions and their treatment providers will be used to finalize the design of the pilot trial (Stage 1B) comparing standard treatment to the integrated (mental health treatment and HIV prevention) intervention. The new integrated intervention will include motivational counseling guided by the IMB Model which seeks to influence behavior change via information sharing, increasing motivation for change, and teaching behavioral skills to increase self-efficacy. To test the hypothesis, the following specific aims will be pursued: (1) Collect information on knowledge and attitudes about PrEP use and obtain feedback about the potential design of the integrated behavioral intervention from women undergoing treatment for trauma-related conditions who are at risk for HIV and their; and (2) Develop an integrated behavioral intervention to promote PrEP uptake and adherence in women undergoing treatment for trauma-related conditions who are at high risk for HIV; and (3) Assess feasibility, acceptability and initial efficacy of the intervention. The research proposed in this application, in the applicant’s opinion, is innovative in that the mental health treatment setting is ideally situated to provide additional services for HIV prevention including PrEP but, to our knowledge, full integration of PrEP services into mental health treatment for women has not been evaluated. The research is significant because it is expected to provide scientific justification for the continued development of behavioral interventions tailored to the unique needs of women who have experienced trauma. Ultimately, such research can inform the development of innovative strategies to improve uptake of effective HIV prevention strategies.

暴露前预防 (PrEP) 是一种高效的艾滋病毒预防工具，但女性并未广泛使用。 在美国南部，艾滋病毒占年度艾滋病毒诊断的 55%，暴力和创伤始终存在联系 这些女性的艾滋病毒风险增加，长期目标是建立一种新的治疗提供模式 将生物医学艾滋病毒预防服务纳入精神卫生保健机构，从而消除个人和提供者- 为患有创伤相关疾病且因问题而面临感染艾滋病毒风险的妇女提供 PrEP 护理水平 总体目标是 (i) 阐明个人和提供者层面的障碍。 PrEP 的采用和坚持，并在信息-动机-行为技能 (IMB) 模型的指导下，(ii) 建立一个 基于心理健康诊所的行为干预，以提高该人群的 PrEP 吸收率和依从性。 中心假设是，与标准治疗相比，心理健康治疗中提供的干预措施 整合知识、行为技能以及参与和坚持 PrEP 护理的动机的环境将导致 在第一年，我们将进行 1A 阶段研究 确定从接受治疗的妇女那里获得的访谈数据，以解决制定综合治疗的关键问题。 针对创伤相关病症的心理健康治疗及其治疗提供者将用于最终确定治疗方案的设计 比较标准治疗与综合治疗（心理健康治疗和艾滋病毒预防）的试点试验（第 1B 阶段） 新的综合干预措施将包括以 IMB 模型为指导的动机咨询。 通过信息共享、增加改变动机以及教授行为技能来影响行为改变 为了检验假设，将追求以下具体目标：（1）收集有关以下方面的信息。 关于 PrEP 使用的知识和态度以及获得的关于综合行为的潜在设计的反馈 接受创伤相关疾病治疗且有感染艾滋病毒风险的妇女的干预；以及 (2) 制定综合行为干预措施，以促进接受 PrEP 治疗的女性对 PrEP 的吸收和依从性 患有艾滋病毒高风险的创伤相关病症；以及 (3) 评估该方案的可行性、可接受性和初步疗效 申请人认为，本申请中提出的研究在心理健康方面具有创新性。 治疗环境地理位置优越，可以为 HIV 预防提供额外服务，包括 PrEP，但是，对我们来说 知识方面，尚未对将 PrEP 服务全面纳入女性心理健康治疗进行评估。 研究意义重大，因为它有望为持续发展提供科学依据 最终，此类研究针对经历过创伤的女性的独特需求进行了行为干预。 可以为制定创新战略提供信息，以提高有效艾滋病毒预防战略的采用。
