What this could mean

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

Active substance: peer navigator training
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that peer-led programs reduce medical mistrust and increase HIV testing and PrEP use in a vulnerable community.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage behavioral study in one county, so results may not apply elsewhere. Mistrust is complex and may not change easily.
