Women in the United States who have been in jail or prison in the past are at a higher risk of HIV than the general population. Although this has led to recommendations that prisons and jails offer pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP, emtricitabine/tenofovir) for HIV, PrEP is not often used by women with a history of incarceration. Despite tremendous need, little is known about ways to effectively reach women with incarceration histories. Social networks may play a big part in whether or not women use PrEP. Involving drug treatment, drug-use, and sex partners could help increase the use of PrEP but not enough is known about these relationships. Partners for PrEP aims to gain more insight on the social networks of previously-incarcerated women and how this could help more women understand the advantages of using PrEP.
