Primary Outcome Measures

| --- | --- | --- |
| Acceptability, as measured by the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) | The AIM consists of four questions that assess acceptability. Responses range from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). Scales are created by averaging responses. | Up to 3 months | 
| Appropriateness, as measured by the Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) | The IAM consists of four questions that assess appropriateness. Responses range from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). Scales are created by averaging responses. | Up to 3 months |

| Change in Sexual Risk Composite, as measured by HIV risk assessment | Participants will answer questions about engagement in anal or vaginal sex, sexual partners' HIV status, current pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use and adherence (if HIV-negative or unknown HIV status), viral load (if living with HIV), A composite score will be calculated to determine whether or not the participant engaged in sexual behavior that could lead to HIV transmission or acquisition. A score of 1 means that the participant engaged in sexual behavior that could lead to HIV acquisition or transmission. A score of 0 means that they did not. | Baseline compared to up to 3 months |
