Description
Xiaochen Xiang and co-authors wrote a trial report from 2026 on a talk-based program to cut risky sex among men who have sex with men. Such acts raise the risk of HIV and other infections. The program rests on a form of talk therapy that links thoughts to acts. It was given over the internet and aimed at the patterns that drive high-risk acts.
Fifty men took part in the trial and were split by lot into a program group and a comparison group. Before the program, close to half of the men took high risks even though they knew the dangers well. After the program, the treated group had less unprotected sex than the comparison group. The team also saw shifts in gut germs that may track the change in acts, but they stress that this part is early and needs more work.
