An Implementation Science Study of a Community-Based PrEP Navigation Intervention for Men in South Florida.

This article focuses on the evaluation of a community-tailored preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) navigation program designed to improve HIV prevention among men in South Florida. Using implementation science frameworks and participatory methods such as staff interviews and client Photovoice sessions, the study identified multilevel barriers and facilitators affecting PrEP uptake, including stigma, misinformation, structural obstacles, and the need for culturally competent messaging. The program incorporated five expert recommendations for change, emphasizing personalized counseling, fee alterations, adherence support, and discreet delivery options, which were refined based on participant and staff feedback. Findings highlight the importance of community-driven, adaptable approaches to enhance equitable access to PrEP and suggest the program’s potential scalability to other high-incidence regions.
