Strategies

Use individual-, group-, and community-level interventions to provide education, support, and training that can affect social norms about HIV and other STIs

Support HPV vaccination through multi-component community interventions, including education, outreach, navigation support, and vaccine provision

Provide tailored health information and assistance with decision making, behavior change, and emotional support via digital interactive programs

Provide prescriptions or medications to patients diagnosed with treatable STIs to give to their partners without provider visits; also called patient-delivered partner therapy (PDPT)

Notify partners exposed to an STI of their risk, encourage testing, and refer to services; also called contact tracing, or partner counseling and referral services

Offer incentives such as free or discounted bus, rail, or transit passes, reimbursements, partial payments, or pre-tax payroll deductions to encourage individuals’ use of existing public transit
