Sustained Health Initiatives of the Philippines (SHIP) is looking for 7 community members to join the Community Advisory Board (CAB) of the #PINALAPITStudy, a national study exploring how twice-yearly injectable PrEP (lenacapavir) can be delivered alongside oral PrEP across community and government health sites in the Philippines. https://tinyurl.com/PINALAPITcommunity
CAB members will have real input into how the study reaches communities, how services are designed, and how findings get shared, from the very first phase all the way through implementation.
We’re looking for people who:
✅ Identify as MSM, transgender and gender diverse individuals, people who use or inject drugs, or sex workers
✅ Are 18 years old or above
✅ Are people their peers already turn to, for information, referrals, or just someone to talk to
✅ Have experience navigating HIV/PrEP services themselves, or helping others do so
✅ Are comfortable speaking up, even when their view differs from others in the room
✅ Can commit to attending CAB sessions across the study (in-person and virtual)
What you get:
💛 A real voice in shaping a national HIV prevention study
💛 Honorarium for your time and participation
💛 Training and orientation, no prior research experience needed
💛 A chance to advocate for your community from the inside
