Intervention

Behavioral:
• Experimental Intervention (MI-PrEP)
The experimental intervention will consist of two sessions. The first session will involve psycho-education on PrEP and Motivational Interviewing to explore ambivalence about PrEP uptake. The second session will involve Motivational Interviewing and case management to explore barriers to accessing PrEP.
• Enhanced Treatment as Usual (E-TAU)
Participants assigned to the control condition will receive two sessions, both of which involve psychoeducation on PrEP.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in Motivation for PrEP	Motivation to use PrEP will be measured with the Contemplation Ladder and the Readiness Ruler, which assess intention to use PrEP and the perceived importance of using PrEP. The Contemplation Ladder and the Readiness Ruler each have a total score range from 0 to 10. Higher scores on the Contemplation Ladder indicate higher levels of contemplation or consideration about PrEP use. Higher scores on the Readiness Ruler indicate higher perceived importance of starting PrEP.	Baseline, Up to 6 weeks
Primary	Change in PrEP uptake	PrEP uptake will be verified by the participants' providers.	Baseline, Up to 6 weeks
Secondary	Change in Knowledge of PrEP	Knowledge of PrEP will be measured using a PrEP fact sheet, with basic information about PrEP. The PrEP Fact Sheet has a total score range of 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating higher levels of PrEP knowledge.	Baseline, Up to 6 weeks
Secondary	Change in Barriers for PrEP	Perceived barriers to PrEP uptake/usage will be measured by an adapted version of the Barriers to Care Scale, in which participants are asked about factors that make it difficult to receive PrEP related services. The Barriers to Care scale has a total score range of 7 to 28, with higher scores indicating increased difficulty regarding barriers to PrEP uptake.	Baseline, Up to 6 weeks
