Summary

This study tests a new way to prevent HIV among people who inject drugs and their friends. Participants from syringe service programs are trained to share HIV self-test kits, naloxone, and information about PrEP and addiction treatment with their social networks. The goal is to see if this peer-led approach increases HIV testing and use of prevention services compared to standard education.
