Summary

This completed trial tested a program called Game Changers, which trained people living with HIV to become advocates for HIV prevention in their social circles. Over 800 participants in Uganda took part in 8 group sessions focused on communication and advocacy skills. The study measured whether their friends and family were more likely to get tested for HIV and use condoms.

Active substance: Game Changers group intervention (behavioral)
What this could lead to: If effective, this program could help reduce HIV transmission by empowering people living with HIV to encourage testing and condom use in their communities.
What could go wrong: This is a completed trial, but results may not apply to other settings or populations. The intervention relies on self-reported behaviors, which can be unreliable.
