Who is the study for?
This trial is for transgender women, particularly those who are financially unstable and may need help with substance use or HIV prevention/treatment. It's open to individuals seeking support in these areas but not to those who don't meet the specific inclusion criteria set by the researchers.
What is being tested?
The ENTRUST trial is testing whether financial stability and tailored counseling can help transgender women better access services for substance use, PrEP (HIV prevention), or adhere to their ART (HIV treatment) if they are living with HIV.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on economic navigation and counselling rather than medical interventions, traditional side effects like you'd see with medications aren't a concern here.
