ICAP’s two centers in New York, the Harlem Prevention Center and the Bronx Prevention Center, are hubs of research and service delivery in two areas of the city that have been historically underserved and disproportionately impacted by the HIV epidemic. ICAP works with local community-based organizations, community boards, political groups, religious leaders, and advocates to engage vulnerable populations in HIV testing, care, and treatment. Current studies include investigations of antibody-mediated prevention and injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
