Summary

This study tests a six-session behavioral program for stimulant-using men at high risk for HIV. The program focuses on positive thinking, mindfulness, and building supportive networks to help participants start taking PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV) and reduce stimulant use and risky sex. The trial will enroll 84 men across the U.S. to see if the program is feasible and acceptable.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Tailored Positive Affect Intervention (behavioral counseling sessions)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward an effective way to help stimulant-using men start PrEP and lower their HIV risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (84 people) testing feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. Results may not apply broadly, and behavioral interventions can have mixed success.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
