Can peer coaches boost HIV prevention in latina trans women?
NCT ID NCT07808541
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at George Washington University are testing a program called Juntas Adelante to see if it helps Latina transgender women in the Washington DC area learn about and use HIV prevention medicines. The program includes five short online videos and up to two virtual coaching sessions with a trained peer who is also a Latina transgender woman. The study will measure whether participants start or continue PrEP, use PEP after possible exposure, and become more aware of these options. Thirty-nine people will take part, and the study follows them for three months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a peer-coaching program with educational videos about HIV prevention
- What this could lead to
- If the approach works, it could offer a community-based way to raise awareness and use of HIV prevention medicines among Latina transgender women.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small study with 39 participants in one city, so the results may not apply to other groups or places. The program may not change whether people start or continue prevention medicines.
