ClinConnect Summary

The ENTRUST clinical trial is focused on helping transgender women, particularly those living with or at risk for HIV, to improve their health and access to important services. The study aims to see if providing financial support and personalized counseling can help these women connect with substance use services, start taking PrEP (a medication that helps prevent HIV), and stay on their HIV treatment if they are already diagnosed.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be at least 18 years old, identify as a transgender woman, and have not been regularly using PrEP. They should also be able to understand spoken English or Spanish and have a smartphone that can take pictures. Throughout the trial, participants can expect to receive support and resources designed to help them improve their health and well-being. It's important for potential participants to be willing to follow study guidelines and not have any serious health conditions that could make joining the study unsafe.
