16 communities across the southern U.S. are participating in HPTN 096. Of the 16 study communities, eight were randomized to participate as Intervention Communities, and eight were randomized to participate as Standard-Of-Care (SOC) Communities.

The outcomes of the study will be determined by comparing viral suppression rates and PrEP uptake in Black MSM between the intervention and standard-of-care (SOC) communities.

Cross-sectional assessments (baseline and post-intervention) will take place in all communities, and HPTN 096-specific community engagement will support both the intervention and cross-sectional assessments.


STANDARD OF CARE

These communities will continue local HIV-related activities that serve Black MSM, including HIV testing, prevention, and care under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative. The HPTN 096 study intervention will not take place in these locations.
