Summary

This study planned to test a program called Lafiya (meaning 'Wellness') designed to reduce stigma and discrimination faced by young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men living in Ghanaian slums. The goal was to see if the program could increase HIV testing, use of PrEP (a daily pill to prevent HIV), and adherence to HIV treatment. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: LAFIYA behavioral intervention
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could point toward effective ways to reduce stigma and increase HIV testing and prevention in marginalized communities.
What could go wrong: The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. It was a small feasibility trial, so even if conducted, findings might not apply broadly.
