New program aims to boost PrEP use among latino men at risk for HIV
NCT ID NCT05434390
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a special program called 'Estoy PrEParado' designed to help Latino men who have sex with men start taking PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. The program provided information, motivation, and skills tailored to this community. Researchers enrolled 105 participants to see if the program was feasible and acceptable, and whether it led to more men getting a PrEP prescription and taking it consistently.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Estoy PrEParado/I am PrEPared intervention (behavioral program)
- What this could lead to
- If this program works well, it could offer a proven way to help more Latino men who have sex with men start taking PrEP to prevent HIV.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, early feasibility study with only 105 participants, so results may not apply to all Latino MSM. The program may not lead to lasting PrEP use in real-world settings.
