NCT ID NCT07133555
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study expands on a previous mobile van HIV/STI testing program for men who have sex with men (MSM) in online spaces. Researchers will add a peer health navigator to help participants get PrEP or HIV care after testing. The study will compare this navigator approach to a referrals-only approach in 100 Black MSM aged 18-49 in Baltimore.
