First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a community-based program called Moon and Sun Brothers for Latino immigrant men who have sex with men. The program includes a day-long retreat, weekly discussions, community events, and prevention counseling. Researchers want to see if it reduces risky sexual behavior and improves self-esteem and social support. About 360 participants will take part, with some receiving the program and others not.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide an effective community-based approach to reduce HIV risk and improve self-esteem among Latino immigrant men who have sex with men.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention with no drug or biologic, so results may be modest. The trial is not randomized and relies on self-reported outcomes, which can be biased.
