First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests different support strategies to help people who inject drugs in rural areas start and continue taking PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. About 424 participants from three syringe service programs will be randomly assigned to receive either peer-led counseling or standard education plus text reminders. The goal is to see which approach works best for getting people on PrEP and keeping them on it over six months.
