This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
CHORUS+ is a study testing whether peer coaches can help people who inject opioids start taking PrEP (a daily medication that prevents HIV in people who don't have it yet) and medication-based addiction treatment. The study compares this supported approach to usual care, to see if having a trained peer coach helps more people actually start these life-saving medications and stick with them.
Many people who inject opioids are at high risk for HIV, but don't know how to access or don't follow through with prevention and treatment. This trial tests whether having a supportive peer coach who understands addiction can make it easier for people to start and stay on these medications.

If you join the intervention group, you'll have an in-person visit with a peer recovery coach who will talk with you about starting HIV prevention and addiction treatment medications, and help you take an at-home HIV test. You'll then receive 6 months of coaching calls and check-ins to help you stick with the medications. If you're in the comparison group, you'll receive information about where to find these services on your own. All participants answer some questions about their health and situation at the beginning.
