16 communities across the southern U.S. are participating in HPTN 096. Of the 16 study communities, eight were randomized to participate as intervention communities, and eight were randomized to participate as standard-of-care (SOC) communities.

STUDY COMMUNITIES

These communities will implement the HPTN 096 study intervention with an integrated strategy, including peer support, health equity, culturally responsive intersectional stigma prevention (CRISP), and social media.

The study was piloted in 2 communities (Dallas, TX, and Montgomery, AL) in 2022. In 2023, the study design was refined to incorporate lessons learned from the pilot.

This two-year intervention will be implemented in three (3) communities in the southern U.S. in 2025, including Dallas, TX; Montgomery, AL; and Fort Lauderdale & Miami, FL.

The study will not move forward in Memphis, TN and Atlanta, GA unless additional funding is procured.
