Young men who have sex with men: Improving access to HIV Pre-exposure prophylaxis in an identified high-risk group through the use of digital peer navigators

This project aims to identify the barriers that young gay, bisexual, queer and other men who have sex with men living in regional, rural and remote Australia experience in accessing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication, including their awareness and knowledge of the use of event-driven PrEP. The expected outcome of this project is the implementation of a peer-led, m-health based intervention to facilitate PrEP adoption among 18 to 25 year olds who may be at risk of HIV infection.
