Friendship groups boost HIV care and cut problem drinking
NCT ID NCT03157258
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether bringing together groups of friends who all have HIV helps them support each other to stay in medical care and take their medications. Over 300 people in St. Petersburg, Russia, took part. The approach uses everyday friendships to encourage regular doctor visits and reduce heavy drinking, rather than relying on individual counseling alone.
