Why is the foXXy doxy study important? In 2022, the US faced its highest resurgence of syphilis since the discovery of penicillin. There was a nearly tenfold increase in cases of congential syphilis in the US in 2022 compared to 2014. Congenital syphilis can lead to a range of severe complications, including: Premature birth Intrauterine growth restriction Miscarriage Perinatal death Stillbirth Postnatal complications that may persist into later life
Why is the foXXy doxy study important? More than half of all reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis were among young people ages 15–24. Research like the foXXy doxy study is necessary to ensure access to HIV and STI prevention products for young women and men, as well as clinical guidelines that address all populations.

MEET OUR NEW ATN SCHOLARS. The ATN Scholars Program provides under-represented scientists with the skills, knowledge, and network to excel as independent investigators in adolescent HIV prevention.
April Bell, PhD, MPH University of California, San Francisco Dr. Bell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine (FCM) in the School of Medicine at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). Prior to joining FCM, she was a postdoctoral scholar with the Preterm Birth Initiative at UCSF. She obtained her PhD in Epidemiology from the Indiana University School of Public Health at Bloomington. She received her MPH with a dual concentration in Epidemiology and Social & Behavioral Sciences from the Indiana University School of Medicine and her BA in Human Biology from Stanford University. Dr. Bell's research is focused on decreasing reproductive health inequities among women and youth by addressing the impacts of societal and structural biases on adverse birth outcomes, sexually transmitted infections, HIV acquisition, abortion access, and unintended pregnancy. Having worked extensively in both the US and across sub-Saharan Africa, she is interested in using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including digital storytelling, to bridge the expanse between US and African settings.
Kevon-Mark Jackman, DrPH, MPH Johns Hopkins School of Medicine & Bloomberg School of Public Health Dr. Kevon-Mark Jackman is an Epidemiologist and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, specializing in adolescent and young adult medicine. With a DrPH and MPH his work bridges health disparities, digital health innovations, and HIV/STI prevention. He leads research funded by AHRQ and NIH, with a focus on digital health and vulnerable populations.
Juan Pablo Zapata, PhD Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Dr. Juan Pablo Zapata is a Clinical Psychologist and Research Assistant Professor at Northwestern University (NU), where he also serves as Associate Director of the Lab for Scalable Mental Health. Before joining the NU faculty, he completed a T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship in HIV translational and implementation science, where he developed expertise in adapting interventions for diverse populations and settings. His current research centers on scalable interventions that can be delivered digitally or by lay providers. For example, he is adapting Keep It Up! (KIU!), one of the first digital HIV prevention programs recognized by the CDC as “best evidence” into a single-session format to expand its reach, given the barriers associated with multi-session programs. He is also adapting a lay-provider–delivered single-session intervention to support adherence among youth living with HIV, reflecting the bidirectional relationship between mental health and HIV. Dr. Zapata recently joined the LYPS ATN study, where he will contribute his expertise in developing scalable digital interventions and serve on the ATN Bioethics Subcommittee.

The Screen2Prevent study is using a computerized survey to find youth in pediatric emergency departments who might qualify for PrEP.
The HAPPY study completed 83% of the enrollment goal at the time of termination and has moved into the data analysis phase which will inform ATN 172, developing a novel HIV and pregnancy prevention medication.
The ATN needs YOUth participants to join us in advancing public health. A healthier future starts with you. Follow us–stay in the loop when studies open!

Description of the CHOOSE study, hoping to break the cycle of high rates of new HIV and STI diagnoses by testing a package of digital health tools to help young men choose which type of PrEP to take, and learning who will take doxycycline for STI prevention when offered it. Study is for young men ages 13-24 who are not living with HIV.
Description of the IMPACT study, combining evidence based talk therapy to treat depression with sexual health counseling to reduce HIV for young people who use stimulants during sexual activity.
The LYPS study aims to improve PrEP use among youth by providing PrEP services at a location outside the clinic, like a private room in a community center.
The foXXy doxy study is testing whether DoxyPEP, a common antibiotic already approved as STI prevention for men, is effective for women.
