“…Even if AYAs are currently not in a romantic relationship, HCPs can still inquire about AYAs' desires and intentions to be in a romantic relationship and how their perceptions of being in a relationship might influence their decision-making regarding uptake of CHPMs. Routine sexual health conversations are an opportune time for HCPs to initiate discussions with AYAs about their romantic relationships (Lanier et al, 2024). Finally, from an intervention perspective, emphasizing the importance of using CHPMs in committed relationship is essential in designing programs that promote successful uptake of CHPMs among Black and Latino AYA couples.…”

Couple-based HIV interventions that increase uptake of two or more effective biomedical HIV prevention methods may be a promising HIV prevention strategy for young Black and Latino heterosexual couples. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured individual interviews with 23 Black and Latino adolescent and young adult heterosexual couples that explored their attitudes toward using combination HIV prevention methods (CHPMs). A qualitative hybrid thematic analysis approach was used to identify key themes. Themes included: (a) attitudes that encouraged uptake—CHPMs increased assurance of safety against HIV/sexually transmitted infections and (b) attitudes that impeded uptake—CHPMs are too much to do and are not appropriate for serious relationships. Although Black and Latino adolescents and young adults may recognize the combined protective benefits of using multiple HIV prevention methods, personal and relational considerations play an instrumental role in uptake of CHPMs.
