Prevention Ambassadors: Intervention to Promote HIV Service Engagement in the Networks of SSP Clients

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV

In brief

HIV testing and service uptake are infrequent among people who use drugs (PWUD) in the United States. In partnership with a community-based syringe service program (SSP), this project will develop the SSP-based "Prevention Ambassadors" (PA) intervention to promote HIV testing and service uptake among PWUD via the secondary distribution (i.e., peer delivery) of HIV self-testing (HIVST) kits with local HIV service information and referrals to HIV service navigation in the social networks of SSP clients (i.e., PWUD). The PA intervention will then be piloted to assess its preliminary effects, acceptability, and feasibility among PWUD in the Ending the HIV Epidemic priority jurisdiction of Riverside County, California.
