Peer power: new study boosts HIV prevention in minority men
NCT ID NCT05161663
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a peer-driven program could help African American and Hispanic/Latino men who have sex with men start taking PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. 98 men who were not on PrEP joined the program. The goal was to see if talking with trained peers made them more likely to start and stick with PrEP over 6 months.
