We propose to compare three health services models of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) delivery at STD and family planning clinics for patients at substantial risk for HIV acquisition. Model 1: Direct PrEP provision in STD and family planning clinics. Model 2: Passive referral to another PrEP service provider in the community. Model 3: Active linkage with patient navigators to another PrEP service provider in the community.
