Study Details

The goal of this study is to adapt evidence-based curriculum on HIV epidemiology and PrEP prescription to train family medicine physician trainees to take a thorough sexual history and discuss HIV/STI prevention and PrEP options with adolescent patients in Alabama. The primary outcomes of the study are: * Feasibility of the PrEP Pro training intervention * Acceptability of the PrEP Pro training intervention Secondary outcomes include: * Behavioral changes in sexual history taking performed by physician trainees * PrEP knowledge and prescribing practices * HIV and STI screening practices Participants will receive training on sexual history taking and HIV prevention options, including PrEP prescription and management. They will complete a pre-training survey (enrollment) and post-training survey (6 months post enrollment) to understand differences in knowledge and practice before and after receiving the training intervention. The post training survey will also assess acceptability and feasibility of the intervention. A subset of participants will complete qualitative in-depth interviews to further discuss their experiences with the program and suggestions for future adaptations.
