Can mindfulness lower HIV risk in stressed young gay men?
NCT ID NCT05855655
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an online mindfulness program is practical and well-liked by young gay, bisexual, and queer men who are at risk for HIV. About 60 participants were randomly assigned to either the mindfulness program or a control group. The main goal was to see if the program was easy to use and acceptable, not to measure health outcomes directly.
