Summary

This study tests whether training people who inject drugs to become peer educators can help their friends get tested for HIV and start prevention tools like PrEP or treatment for opioid use. About 360 participants from syringe service programs in Maryland will be split into two groups: one gets peer-educator training, the other gets general overdose education. The goal is to see if the peer-led approach leads to more HIV testing and use of prevention services.
