Peer-Led events could help more black men start HIV prevention
NCT ID NCT06141408
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a peer-led community program to help Black men in Prince George's County, Maryland, start taking PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. The program uses in-person events to reduce stigma, build social support, and teach skills for getting HIV care. Researchers will compare PrEP use between those who attend the events and those who do not.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MPowerment PrEP Promotion Intervention (behavioral program)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this community-based approach could increase PrEP use and reduce new HIV infections in high-risk communities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage behavioral study (120 participants) in one county, so results may not apply elsewhere. The intervention relies on self-report and voluntary participation, which may limit adherence.
