Study summary

This is a randomized controlled trial with an attention placebo control group. The goal of this study is to decrease HIV incidence in Latino men who have sex with men by engaging their siblings in PrEP-use promotion. In the intervention arm, siblings will be trained to engage their gay brother in PrEP conversations. In the control arm, siblings will be trained to engage their gay brother in conversations about vaccines to prevent COVID, Hepatitis A/B, or MPOX.

Interventions

  • BehavioralEntre Herman@s

    The intervention unfolds as follows: (Week 1) the research team, Latino MSM, \& sibling will all engage in a PrEP Conversation followed by an individual Sibling Training for siblings to learn communication strategies for promoting health behaviors; (Week 2) we will send siblings reminders and a link to motivational interviewing techniques; (Week 3) we will conduct brief Follow-ups with siblings to determine if their brother changed his behavior; (Week 4) we will send a reminder to Latino MSM that they will have a follow-up the following week; (Week 5) we will conduct 30-day Follow-up with Latino MSM to determine if there was uptake of the new behavior change; (Week 7) same as week 5 above; (Week 10) send siblings information on motivational interviewing; (Week 12) final follow-up for both Latino MSM and siblings.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants that start using PrEP

    This measures how many participants in the experiment group started taking PrEP (baseline = 0 participants). Tool: Pictures. Participants will submit a picture of their pill bottle to report PrEP use.

    Time frame: 90 days

  2. Number of participants that get vaccinated

    This measures whether participants in the control group decided to get vaccinated for COVID, Hep A/B, or MPOX. Tool: Pictures. Participants will submit a picture of their proof-of-vaccination card to report vaccination status.

    Time frame: 90 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants who increase their willingness to use PrEP

    This measures whether participants progress along the stages of change (e.g., pre-contemplation, contemplation, action) in their willingness to try PrEP if it were available to them. Tool: Stages of Change questionnaire administered at baseline and 90 days.

    Time frame: 90 days

  2. Number of participants who increase their willingness to get vaccinated

    This measures whether participants progress along the stages of change (e.g., pre-contemplation, contemplation, action) in their willingness to get vaccinated against COVID, Hep A/B, or MPOX if it were available to them. Tool: Stages of Change questionnaire administered at baseline and 90 days.

    Time frame: 90 days

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2023 to primary completion in Feb 2025, 21 months.

Of 393 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under HIV Infections, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 45. This study's 21 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 402 studies reached it within 28 months; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 45.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 6, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
