What is the ATN?
The Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV Interventions (ATN) conducts innovative and collaborative research that explores promising strategies to support sexual health among adolescents and young adults ages 13 through 24.
The ATN is the only research network in the United States devoted solely to HIV prevention and care for youth, bringing together adolescents, communities, and researchers to enrich the health and well-being of youth and young adults.

The foXXy doxy Study is Open for Enrollment!
The foXXy doxy study opened for enrollment in early 2026!
Doxycycline is an FDA-approved antibiotic that is widely used to prevent and treat certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. Taking doxycycline after condomless sex (on-demand) or weekly, a strategy called “DoxyPEP,” is approved for use among some populations, like men.
The foXXy doxy study aims to close a gap in data by determining whether DoxyPEP is effective for women, too.
The ATN is currently enrolling participants in Chicago, San Francisco, Tampa, and Washington, D.C. Stay tuned—we’ll be enrolling in more cities soon!
The IMPACT Study Is Open for Enrollment!
We are thrilled to announce that the IMPACT study has opened for enrollment!
Stimulant drug use (e.g., crystal methamphetamine, cocaine, ecstasy, MDMA) is a substantial public health problem among young people. Using stimulants makes it more likely that young people will engage in behaviors that increase the likelihood of acquiring HIV.
In response, the IMPACT study combines HIV sexual health counseling with evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy to treat depression that focuses on helping participants re-engage in activities that generate feelings of enjoyment and reduces HIV acquisition and transmission likelihood in young people who use stimulants in the context of sex.
If successful, this intervention will be ready for use in a variety of settings, like substance use treatment centers or community health organizations.
