OPTIONS: A Patient-Centered HIV Prevention Decision Aid for PrEP Uptake for Women With Substance Use in Treatment Settings

Developing and Testing the Effect of a Patient-Centered HIV Prevention Decision Aid on PrEP Uptake for Women With Substance Use in Treatment Settings

To develop and test the effect of a patient-centered HIV prevention decision aid on HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake among women with substance use disorders (SUD) in treatment.

To test the effect of the informed decision aid intervention on PrEP uptake among women with substance use disorders in treatment. Investigators hypothesize that compared to those receiving standard harm reduction information, women receiving the decision aid will have a significant increase in PrEP uptake at 6 and 12 months post-intervention.
