Experimental Treatment
Group I: Study cohortExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The investigators will enroll 50 female-identifying people who present to the clinical van for care and follow them for 6 months. The investigators will assess uptake of PrEP and buprenorphine; POC STI testing and treatment completion rates; sustained use of PrEP and buprenorphine at months 3 and 6 (n=50). The investigators will conduct surveys to assess and characterize the acceptability and feasibility of venue-based primary and HIV prevention care among women who inject drugs (WWID).
