Summary

This study tested a new way to help young men who have sex with men (ages 18-30) take their daily HIV prevention pills (PrEP) more consistently. Researchers used a simple urine test to check if the pills were being taken, then gave personalized counseling based on the results. The goal was to make the counseling more effective and ultimately prevent HIV infections in this high-risk group.
