This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether training people from the community as peer educators can help more people get HIV testing, learn about prevention options, and connect to treatment services. The study focuses on people who inject drugs and their social networks in Maryland, using an approach called social network intervention.
People who inject drugs face higher risks of HIV and opioid overdose, but many don't have easy access to testing, prevention tools, and treatment. This trial is testing whether teaching trusted community members to share information and resources with their peers is more effective than standard education alone.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to either teach your network about HIV testing and prevention or attend standard education about overdose safety. If you're in the teaching group, you'll learn how to share information and distribute HIV self-test kits and overdose-reversal medication to people you know. All participants will complete check-in visits at the start, 3 months, and 9 months to answer questions about testing, treatment use, and what you've learned.
