Summary

This trial is testing if a network intervention can help Latino men who have sex with men and transwomen get regular HIV tests and prevent HIV transmission.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Latino men who have sex with men and transwomen over 18 years old, living in Milwaukee, Cleveland, or Indianapolis. Participants must be able to consent and belong to a network where at least 80% are of Latinx descent. Cisgender females and those not identifying as homosexual or bisexual cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of HIV prevention strategies among friendship networks through regular testing, risk reduction counseling, PrEP awareness, and referrals. It's a randomized controlled trial comparing these interventions within selected communities.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on counseling and education rather than medication or medical procedures, there may not be direct physical side effects; however participants might experience emotional distress or anxiety related to discussing personal behaviors associated with HIV risk.
