Summary
This study aims to help 400 male commercial minibus drivers in Nigeria use HIV self-testing and long-acting injectable medications for both HIV treatment and prevention. Drivers will be trained as peer educators to promote these tools among their community. The goal is to make it easier for busy drivers to stay healthy without frequent clinic visits.
