Withdrawn HIV stigma study aimed to help young gay men in ghana slums
NCT ID NCT06312514
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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 However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected.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The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.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.
