Article Synopsis
- People who inject drugs (PWID) contribute to high HIV rates in the US and have low PrEP uptake, necessitating tailored interventions that address their cognitive difficulties.
- A study will utilize a 16-condition factorial experiment involving 256 PWID on opioid use disorder treatment to optimize strategies for improving PrEP adherence and HIV risk reduction.
- The University of Connecticut's review board has approved the study, which requires informed consent from participants, and results will be shared through national and international conferences and journals.
