About

The investigators will pilot test an ethnodrama intervention designed to transform community member beliefs about and foster support of young cisgender women (YCW) using Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP).

Full description

In Aim 3, the investigators will pilot test the ethnodrama intervention (i.e., six plays on reducing PrEP stigma toward young women) that were pre-tested in Aim 2. The pilot evaluation will focus on evaluating logistical feasibility and describing participants' perceptions of the intervention's influence on PrEP-related stigma toward young women.
