This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.

What is this trial?

This trial is testing whether a social support program called 'Amigx' can help Latino men stay healthy and prevent HIV infection. Researchers will compare two groups: one receiving standard HIV prevention care, and another receiving the new social support program. Both groups will be offered access to PrEP (a preventive medication) and other standard care over 15 months.

HIV continues to affect Latino communities at higher rates, and researchers want to learn whether adding a social support component — where friends help encourage healthy behaviors together — can be more effective than standard prevention care alone.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

you are a cisgender male between 18 and 54 years old
you are Latino or Hispanic
you are HIV-negative and willing to be tested
you have had behaviors in the last 6 months that put you at risk for HIV, such as unprotected sex with partners of unknown status, a recent sexually transmitted infection, or injection drug use with shared equipment
you are willing to participate in the study for up to 15 months

You likely don't qualify if…

you are living with HIV or have a positive HIV test
you currently take or have recently taken PrEP medication
you are unable to give informed consent due to cognitive impairment or severe mental health symptoms
you identify as Non-Latino or non-Hispanic
you are already enrolled in another HIV prevention program

What participation looks like

You will be randomly assigned to either a standard care group or a social support group. If you're in the social support group, you'll work with friends and receive regular check-ins, counseling, and help accessing HIV prevention services — all at one convenient location. Both groups will have access to HIV testing, preventive medication if eligible, and sexual health services. You'll participate for up to 15 months with regular visits to track your health and get support.
