This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a combination of community programs can help Black gay and bisexual men in the New York area access HIV testing and prevention medications like PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV). The programs include one-on-one peer support, training on how to self-test for HIV, and a three-session empowerment program focused on sexual health and reducing stigma. Researchers want to see if combining these approaches works better than standard care alone.
Many Black gay and bisexual men face barriers to getting HIV testing and prevention medications — including stigma, lack of information, and feeling disconnected from healthcare. This study exists to find out whether community-based, peer-led programs can overcome these barriers and help more people protect their health.

Depending on which group you join, you'll receive standard HIV prevention navigation plus one or more add-on programs. These may include a single training session on HIV self-testing, a three-session program focusing on sexual self-care and empowerment, or both. You'll also be exposed to community awareness campaigns about HIV testing and prevention. Throughout the study, researchers will track whether you get HIV tested and whether you start taking prevention medications.
