Center for AIDS Intervention Research (CAIR) - Your PrEP Experience

Welcome to Your PrEP Experience (YPE)!

We are conducting confidential online surveys to understand young men and transgender women’s experiences with PrEP. These surveys will explore factors that may impact PrEP use and adherence, including relationship experiences and life circumstances. We hope the information from this project will help us develop better programs to encourage continued PrEP use and adherence.

The project is being conducted by Medical College of Wisconsin faculty and staff and is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
