Summary

This study tests a program that helps HIV-positive men who have sex with men build social support to stay in medical care. One hundred participants in St. Petersburg, Russia, will either get individual counseling or that plus group sessions to boost resilience and connect with supportive people. Researchers will check if the program improves clinic attendance, medication adherence, and viral suppression over 12 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Social Support Mobilization (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a low-cost, community-based way to help HIV+ men stay in medical care and achieve undetectable viral loads.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, so its impact may vary.
