The aim is to conduct two virtual focus groups (10 participants in each group) with 20 pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-eligible Black women in Houston and Austin, TX. Participants will be assigned to focus groups with other women based on their position about PrEP uptake (considered use versus not considered use). Focus group questions will build on an ecologic model framework to inquire about participant's intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community-level factors that influence access to and use of HIV prevention services. This strategy aims to examine potential barriers to PrEP uptake among PrEP-eligible women in two Texas' hotspots.
