First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called PrTNER that helps young people aged 15-29 who are at risk for HIV or already living with it, and who also have substance use issues. The program provides prevention, treatment, and support to help them start HIV prevention medication (PrEP) or lower their viral load. The goal is to see if this approach improves health outcomes and reduces substance use.
