RESEARCH STUDIES
Are you between the ages of 18 and 22 years old?
A male who has sex with males?
Are you interested in protecting yourself against HIV?
The Adolescent Trials Network (ATN) at Fenway Health has opened a research study for young men between the ages of 18 and 22 called Project PrEPare which seeks to find out how youth can take and benefit from a medication called Truvada to prevent HIV. Truvada was approved by the FDA for HIV prevention in July 2011; however, adolescents were not well represented in the initial research. Project PrEPare projects that by making Truvada, along with condoms and regular risk-reduction counseling, accessible to this young cohort, HIV transmission rates among young men who have sex with men will be reduced. If you or someone you know may be interested in finding out more about this study, please visit the Project PrEPare website at: projectprepare.net/boston. On this website, individuals are given the opportunity to take an eligibility quiz to determine if they can participate in this study. All answers are completely confidential. Additionally, anyone who is interested and would like more information can email Emily George, RN, MPH, the Boston Site Project Manager, at egeorge@fenwayhealth.org.
