NCT ID NCT06501781
First seen Nov 01, 2025
Summary
This study tests whether trained peer recovery specialists can help Black individuals with HIV or at high risk stay on track with long-acting injectable HIV medications and reduce substance use. 186 participants will either get the peer support program or standard care, and researchers will track medication adherence and substance use over 12 months. The goal is to find a practical, affordable way to improve health outcomes in underserved communities.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Peer behavioral activation and problem-solving intervention
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a scalable, cost-effective model to improve HIV medication adherence and reduce substance use in underserved Black communities.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (186 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. Results may not generalize widely, and the intervention's success depends on peer delivery fidelity.
