Summary
This trial aims to use a type of therapy to help people reduce their use of stimulant drugs and lower their risk of transmitting HIV through sexual activity.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for young gay/bisexual minority men who are sexually active. It's designed to help those who use stimulants and may be at risk of HIV transmission. Specific eligibility details aren't provided, but typically participants must meet certain health and demographic criteria.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a behavioral intervention called IMPACT, compared with an electronic Social Networking (eSOC) strategy, to see if they can reduce stimulant use and lower the risk of HIV among participants.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study focuses on behavioral interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there might be emotional or psychological responses due to changes in behavior or social dynamics.

Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: IMPACT GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A multifaceted training and implementation strategy across sites and formats will be used. Participants who report stimulant use in the context of condomless anal sex (CAS), will be randomized using a 2:1 allocation ratio with two-thirds being allocated to the IMPACT intervention. The participants in this arm participate in 10 sessions (approximately 50 minutes each) delivered over the course of approximately 10 weeks.
Group II: Enhanced Standard of Care (eSOC) Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
The comparison arm will receive the same 2 HIV sexual risk reduction (RR) intervention sessions and referrals to substance use and mental health treatment, per SOC.
