A community-based participatory research approach to the development, refinement, and distribution of Test-to-PrEP: a peer-to-peer distributed at-home HIV self-test and prevention information kit in Miami-Dade, Florida
The CBPR-informed Test-to-PrEP intervention demonstrates an innovative, scalable model for improving accessibility and acceptability of HIV self-testing and prevention information in high-incidence communities. Results underscore the importance of inclusive, culturally sensitive intervention design, systematic training approaches, and rigorous community collaboration to optimize health services delivery. Future implementation studies are ongoing to quantitatively evaluate the intervention's effectiveness on HIV testing uptake, PrEP initiation, and subsequent clinical service utilization.
