Turning patients into prevention champions: can HIV-Positive individuals stop the spread?

NCT ID NCT05098015

Summary

This study tested whether training people living with HIV to become prevention advocates in their communities could help stop the virus from spreading. Researchers worked with 210 HIV-positive individuals in Uganda, teaching them how to encourage safer sex and HIV testing among their friends and family. The goal was to see if this peer-led approach could reduce unprotected sex, increase testing rates, and decrease stigma within social networks over 18 months.
