What this trial studies

This study evaluates the Collaborative Care Prevention, Treatment, Navigation, Engagement, Resource (PrTNER) intervention aimed at increasing the initiation of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and reducing viral load among young Black and Latino men who have sex with men, aged 15 to 24. The intervention integrates substance use treatment with HIV care, utilizing a collaborative care model that includes feedback from a psychiatrist and support from a peer coach. Participants will be randomly assigned to assess the effectiveness of this multi-component approach in addressing both HIV risk and substance use behaviors.
