NCT ID NCT04378439
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study combines peer navigation (trained community members) with mobile health tools to help gay, bisexual, and transgender people in rural Appalachia access HIV, STI, and hepatitis C testing and prevention services. About 141 participants will be split into two groups: one gets the program right away, the other gets it later. The goal is to see if this approach increases testing and use of prevention like PrEP and syringe services.
