Summary

This completed study tested whether a mobile app plus weekly group sessions led by Black women could help young Black men who have sex with men start taking PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. Thirty-seven participants were split into two groups: one used only the app, while the other also attended four weekly discussions on stigma, sexual health, and HIV prevention. The main goal was to see if this approach was feasible and acceptable, and whether it changed social connections and attitudes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
behavioral intervention (mobile app and group sessions)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could point to a new way to increase PrEP use among young Black men who have sex with men.
What could go wrong
This was a small, early feasibility study with only 37 participants, so results may not apply to larger groups. The study measured changes in attitudes and intentions, not actual HIV prevention.
