Summary
This trial will test a program to train young Latino and Black men who have sex with men to promote PrEP use among HIV-negative YMSM of color in their social networks.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for young Latino or Black men who have sex with men (YMSM), aged 18-34, living with HIV or using PrEP. Participants must be willing to share their status and promote PrEP within their social networks of similar peers.
What is being tested?
The OPPEN program trains YMSM of color either living with HIV or on PrEP to educate their peers about using PrEP. This study will assess how well the program works and if it's easy to implement among these communities.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on education and peer-driven intervention rather than a medical treatment, there are no direct side effects from drugs; however, participants may experience social or psychological impacts.
