Study Background

Despite recent emphasis on couples-based HIV prevention interventions, effective interventions for Latinx male couples have yet to be tested. This study is a trial of an HIV prevention couples-based intervention: Connecting Latinxs en Pareja (CLP).

CLP is an intervention grounded in a relationship-oriented framework, and was specifically tailored to the needs of Latinx male couples. The program is reaching out to HIV-positive and negative men to talk with them about HIV prevention and/or treatment from a sex-positive perspective.

If you and your partner choose to participate in this study, you may be able to help researchers improve strategies for HIV protection among Latinx male couples. Help advance research today and join our compensated study! Each participant can earn up to $315.
