What is the uptake, reach and effectiveness of universally offered, opt-out HIV screening across pediatric EDs after implementing an adapted version of a tablet-based screening process? 2. What is the successful linkage to comprehensive HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care using a novel, digital health platform? Participants will 1. Complete the previously developed and validated computerized sexual health screen (cSHS) containing questions regarding their personal sexual health history 2.
