Study sites
INFECTIOUS DISEASES, EMERGENCY
Sites planned as part of the study are the Johns Hopkins Hospital Emergency Department (JHHED), the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, the John G. Bartlett Specialty Practice (JGBSP) Infectious Diseases Clinic, and the Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD) Sexual Health Clinics, all located in a high HIV burden area [The study will recruit participants from the community using social media outreach by using social media adverts (Facebook and Instagram) and more traditional methods such as flyers. Community outreach using social media will be critical for access to disproportionately affected populations who are unwilling or unable to engage in traditional healthcare services. Potential participants from community outreach who make contact with research coordinators will be invited to visit the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) of the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) located at the Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH) where eligibility will be determined, and study visits will be completed. In addition, participants recruited from clinical sites will complete follow-up visits at the CRU.
