PARTI Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new way to help people taking PrEP (a medication to prevent HIV) to stick with their medication and stay safe. The new method includes a smartphone app and counseling to help manage emotions. The goal is to see if this new method reduces the risk of HIV infection.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for sexual minority men in California or Florida who use stimulants, are HIV negative, have had condomless anal sex recently, and are on PrEP but may not adhere to it strictly. They must be 18+, speak English, own a smartphone, and identify as male or gender minority. Those assigned female at birth or planning to move soon cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the PARTI program—a positive affect intervention—combined with Contingency Management (CM) for taking PrEP doses against an attention-control condition with CM. The goal is to see if PARTI+CM better prevents HIV by encouraging consistent use of PrEP.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on behavioral interventions rather than medications directly administered during the study, there aren't typical medication side effects; however, participants will continue their usual PrEP regimen which can include side effects like nausea and headaches.
