Study Summary

This trial will test an intervention that combines behavioral activation with HIV risk reduction counseling, to see if it is more effective than just the standard of care (HIV risk reduction counseling) in reducing HIV risk behavior in men who have sex with men with stimulant use disorder.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for HIV-uninfected men who have sex with men (MSM), aged 18 or older, who use stimulants and are at risk of HIV through sexual behavior. They must not be on PrEP, live in the Boston or Miami areas, and be able to consent. Those with active suicidal thoughts or severe illness can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares Project IMPACT's integrated Behavioral Activation with HIV risk reduction counseling against standard care over ten sessions. Participants will be randomly assigned to either group and followed up for one year with assessments every four months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on counseling interventions rather than medications, typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, discussing sensitive topics may cause emotional discomfort.
