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 a new care model called Collaborative Care PrTNER, designed specifically for young men aged 15 to 29 who have HIV or are at high risk for it and also struggle with substance use. The program pairs participants with a trained peer coach and connects them with mental health support alongside their regular HIV care. The goal is to help young men manage both conditions together, rather than treating them separately.
Young men dealing with both HIV risk and substance use need care that addresses both challenges at the same time. The new treatment approach recognizes that these issues are connected and that peer support can make a real difference in helping people stay engaged in care and reach their health goals.

If you're in the peer coach group, you'll be assigned a trained peer coach who will support you throughout the study and help you set health goals. Both groups will complete surveys and provide samples at baseline and then at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. You'll receive counseling and education about your health, and your care team will work together to connect you with substance use treatment if you need it. The whole study lasts one year.
