NCT ID NCT06661343
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test two behavioral programs designed to help Black men who have sex with men (MSM) take PrEP regularly to prevent HIV. The C4 program offers personalized support to overcome barriers like stigma and healthcare access. The C4+3MV program adds group sessions to encourage healthy behaviors. Researchers will enroll 500 participants and track PrEP use through blood tests and questionnaires.
