How can Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) help in HIV prevention?
Prepared by Pamela DeCarlo and Kimberly Koester, CAPS/PRC/CHPRC Community Engagement (CE) Core | May 2017
This PRC project is focused on evaluating the adaptation of the STYLE (“Strength Through Youth Livin’ Empowered”) intervention, developed 10+ years ago in North Carolina, to a community-based clinic in Oakland, CA. APEB is calling their STYLE adaptation “M+.” They will develop social and standard marketing materials for the program. Clients who enroll in M+ will attend an orientation and educational session focused on health literacy and self advocacy skills.
While you are setting up your equipment, getting the consent form, etc. take note of the surroundings for your field notes.

Is HIV Counseling and Testing Effective for Prevention?
While voluntary HIV counseling and testing has been demonstrated to be useful for care and support, the effectiveness of counseling and testing for prevention has not been conclusively demonstrated [1-6].
A más de 20 años del inicio de la epidemia y a pesar de los avances en conocimiento, tratamiento, y aceptación del VIH, la experiencia de recibir un diagnóstico VIH+ aún puede resultar traumática. La gente VIH+ debe asimilar la realidad de su propia infección al tiempo de preocuparse por la posible infección de parejas pasadas y futuras. Es difícil hablar con la pareja sobre el VIH, pues aunque puede controlarse, aún no tiene cura.
