Summary

This study tested two strategies to prevent HIV among young couples (ages 18-30) in Cape Town who use alcohol or drugs. One strategy was a community workshop to reduce stigma around HIV and drug use. The other was a couples program that provided HIV testing and counseling to help partners start and stick with HIV prevention (PrEP) or treatment (ART). The goal was to see if these approaches could increase the use of HIV medicines and reduce risky behaviors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
behavioral intervention (stigma awareness workshop and couples counseling program)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help reduce new HIV infections among young couples in high-risk communities by improving access to and use of prevention and treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but results are not yet widely published. The interventions are behavioral, so their impact may vary across different communities and may not be easy to scale.
