NCT ID NCT06063083
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a program to help Latino men who have sex with men get access to PrEP (HIV prevention pills), HIV testing, and mental health services. The program included one-on-one outreach sessions and a website with stories from other Latino men. The goal was to see if this approach could increase engagement with these important health services. The study involved 90 participants in the Miami area.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- behavioral intervention (outreach sessions and peer stories website)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could improve access to HIV prevention and mental health care for Latino men who have sex with men, reducing health disparities.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small pilot study with only 90 participants in one city, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not work as well in other settings or communities.
