摘要
HIV disproportionately impacts minoritized individuals, particularly those of intersectional minoritized identities. Incarceration disproportionately impacts minoritized individuals as well, and increases HIV risk, in part due to its disruption to people's lives, social networks, and access to care. We developed MEPS, a 6-month intervention designed to holistically support HIV prevention in men who have sex with men and transgender women leaving incarceration. We tested MEPS in a 1:1 randomized controlled trial with 208 individuals. All participants received a needs assessment and personalized wellness plan, followed by either standard of care or the MEPS intervention. MEPS integrated support from a Peer Mentor, incentives for engagement in social and health services, and a mobile app. Participants completed baseline assessments and follow-up assessments at 3, 6, and 9 months. We tested for changes in PrEP use using a group-based trajectory model, for changes in HIV and STI testing, frequent substance use and recidivism using logistic mixed models, and for changes in HCV testing and in having a regular place for care using Poisson models. MEPS participants were significantly more likely than control participants to be among those who used PrEP [AOR (95% CI) = 3.8 (1.8, 8.0)]. Recent HIV testing in the MEPS arm remained above 50% over time while decreasing in the control arm, with a significant difference between arms at 6 months [AOR (95% CI) = 3.5 (1.3, 9.5)]. There were no significant differences between arms in the other outcomes. The MEPS intervention was effective in increasing PrEP uptake and HIV testing in people leaving incarceration. Interventions that implement peer mentor support and incentives to encourage service engagement can improve engagement in HIV prevention services among populations that experience unique barriers to care. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on July 25, 2019 (NCT04036396). El VIH afecta de manera desproporcionada a personas minorizadas, especialmente a aquellas con identidades interseccionales minorizadas. La encarcelaci & oacute;n tambi & eacute;n impacta de manera desproporcionada a estas poblaciones y aumenta el riesgo de VIH, en parte debido a la disrupci & oacute;n que causa en sus vidas, redes sociales y acceso a la atenci & oacute;n m & eacute;dica. Desarrollamos MEPS, una intervenci & oacute;n de seis meses dise & ntilde;ada para apoyar de manera integral la prevenci & oacute;n del VIH en hombres que tienen sexo con hombres y mujeres transg & eacute;nero que est & aacute;n saliendo de la c & aacute;rcel. Probamos MEPS mediante un ensayo aleatorizado y controlado 1:1 con 208 participantes. Todos los participantes recibieron una evaluaci & oacute;n de necesidades y un plan de bienestar personalizado, seguidos por el cuidado est & aacute;ndar o la intervenci & oacute;n MEPS. MEPS integr & oacute; el apoyo de un Peer Mentor (mentor entre pares), incentivos por participaci & oacute;n en servicios sociales y de salud, y una aplicaci & oacute;n m & oacute;vil. Los participantes completaron evaluaciones al inicio y seguimientos a los 3, 6 y 9 meses. Evaluamos los cambios en el uso de PrEP mediante un modelo de trayectoria grupal; y los cambios en pruebas de VIH e ITS, uso frecuente de sustancias y reincidencia mediante modelos log & iacute;sticos mixtos; as & iacute; como los cambios en pruebas de hepatitis C y en tener un lugar regular de atenci & oacute;n mediante modelos de Poisson. Los participantes del grupo MEPS tuvieron una probabilidad significativamente mayor que los del grupo control de estar entre quienes usaron PrEP [OR ajustado (IC 95%) = 3.8 (1.8, 8.0)]. Las pruebas recientes de VIH en el grupo MEPS se mantuvieron por encima del 50% con el tiempo, mientras que disminuyeron en el grupo control, con una diferencia significativa entre grupos a los 6 meses [OR ajustado (IC 95%) = 3.5 (1.3, 9.5)]. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre grupos en los otros resultados. La intervenci & oacute;n MEPS fue eficaz para aumentar el uso de PrEP y las pruebas de VIH en personas que salen de la c & aacute;rcel. Las intervenciones que implementan el apoyo de mentores pares e incentivos para fomentar la participaci & oacute;n en servicios pueden mejorar la vinculaci & oacute;n con servicios de prevenci & oacute;n del VIH en poblaciones que enfrentan barreras & uacute;nicas para acceder a la atenci & oacute;n. Este estudio fue registrado en ClinicalTrials.gov el 25 de julio de 2019 (NCT04036396).
