Summary

This study tests a peer-led community program to help Black men in Prince George's County, Maryland, start taking PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. The program uses in-person events to reduce stigma, build social support, and teach skills for getting HIV care. Researchers will compare PrEP use between those who attend the events and those who do not.

What this could lead to

If successful, this community-based approach could increase PrEP use and reduce new HIV infections in high-risk communities.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage behavioral study (120 participants) in one county, so results may not apply elsewhere. The intervention relies on self-report and voluntary participation, which may limit adherence.
