Peer power: new study tests whether support buddies boost HIV and mental health care
NCT ID NCT04601064
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether having a trained peer (someone with similar experiences) as a case manager can help people with HIV who also have mental health or substance use problems get the care they need. About 405 adults from an HIV clinic will be randomly assigned to either usual care or extra peer support. The main goal is to see if this approach helps more people achieve an undetectable HIV viral load after 12 months.
