Border communities fight HIV with peer support and testing

NCT ID NCT03293875

Summary

This study adapted and tested a community-based program to prevent HIV among people who inject drugs in the high-violence US-Mexico border region. The program involved three main parts: social network-based HIV testing, peer-led educational sessions, and community-wide health events. Researchers worked with 840 participants to see if this multi-level approach could reduce risky behaviors and lower HIV risk in these challenging environments.
