About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to generate real-life information on the use of lenacapavir (LEN, YEZTUGO®, (YTG)) for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) across diverse clinical settings in the United States. The study will characterize how PrEP is initiated, used, and discontinued in routine clinical practice when LEN is added as PrEP option and will evaluate persistence on LEN PrEP.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate real-life persistence on LEN PrEP at Week 52 in diverse clinical settings in the United States.

Able to comprehend and provide a signed written informed consent, which must be obtained prior to initiation of screening study procedures;
Willing and able to comply with all study requirements;
Presents at a study site needing or wanting PrEP for HIV prevention as determined by local clinical practice guidelines and institutional protocols, including new PrEP users (PrEP naïve) and current or former users of oral (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (coformulated; Truvada®; F/TDF) or emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (coformulated; Descovy®; F/TAF)) or injectable (LEN or cabotegravir (CAB)) PrEP who indicate interest in discussing PrEP methods that they are clinically eligible to receive;

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Proportion of Participants with LEN PrEP Persistence at Week 52
LEN PrEP persistence at Week 52 is defined as the proportion of participants receiving a LEN injection at enrollment who had an on-time injection at Week 26 and an on-time Week 52 visit ('on time' is defined as ≤ 28 weeks from the last injection).
Secondary outcomes
Uptake of PrEP: Proportion of Participants Who Decided to Use PrEP at Enrollment (Baseline) and Different Types of PrEP
PrEP Persistence: Proportion of Participants who Persistently Used PrEP at Weeks 26, 78 and 104, Overall and by PrEP Type
PrEP Coverage: Proportion of Days Protected by PrEP at Weeks 26, 52, 78, and 104, Overall and by PrEP Type
PrEP Persistence: Mean Duration of PrEP Use
