Acceptance-Based Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Intervention (ACTPrEP) to Engage Young Black Men Who Have Sex With Men in the Southern United States: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This protocol outlines a pilot randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of ACTPrEP, an intervention integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis services. The study targets young Black men who have sex with men in the Southern United States, utilizing qualitative input to adapt delivery modes and cultural considerations. It compares this approach against enhanced standard care to assess PrEP initiation, adherence, and persistence over a 12-week period.
