Summary

This study tests a program that combines peer support and text message reminders to help young LGBTQ+ people with HIV in Nigeria stay on their medication and lower their virus levels. One hundred participants aged 15-29 will receive the program for 24 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach improves treatment engagement and viral suppression.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: peer navigation and SMS text message reminders
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a proven way to help LGBTQ+ youth with HIV stay engaged in care and achieve viral suppression.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on self-reported adherence, which can be unreliable.
