Summary

This study tests a six-session behavioral program for stimulant-using men at high risk for HIV. The program focuses on positive thinking, mindfulness, and building supportive networks to help participants start taking PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV) and reduce stimulant use and risky sex. The trial will enroll 84 men across the U.S. to see if the program is feasible and acceptable.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward an effective way to help stimulant-using men start PrEP and lower their HIV risk.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study (84 people) testing feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. Results may not apply broadly, and behavioral interventions can have mixed success.
