Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests a program called the Five Point Initiative, which brings HIV testing, PrEP education and prescriptions, and condoms to everyday spots like barbershops, salons, and corner stores in predominantly Black communities in Miami. Researchers want to see if this approach increases the number of residents who get tested for HIV, start PrEP, and use condoms. The program runs at community events over 21 months, and the study compares outcomes in neighborhoods that receive the program versus those that do not.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A community-based program offering HIV testing, PrEP linkage and education, and condom distribution at local businesses in Black neighborhoods.
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could reduce HIV transmission in high-burden Black communities by making testing and prevention tools more accessible.
What could go wrong
The trial is large but relies on community participation and self-reported outcomes, so results may vary by location and may not generalize to other settings.
