Description
Glenn Wagner and co-authors test whether training people with HIV as peer advocates lifts prevention habits in their social networks, in work from twenty twenty-five. The trial ran in Kampala, Uganda. Advocates learned to promote testing, condom use, preventive drugs, and care.
Two hundred ten people with HIV and nearly six hundred network members were followed for eighteen months. Trained participants aimed advocacy at more members than controls for all four behaviors. Members who heard testing advocacy more often got tested by the next check in. Condom advocacy also raised steady condom use among members with HIV negative partners. Tone of delivery was tracked as well.
