Survival, trust, and compassion: persistent HIV prevention concerns faced by Black sexual and gender minority communities in the US South - a qualitative study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Members of Black sexual and gender minority (BSGM) groups in the Southern US experience disparities across all pillars of the HIV prevention continuum. Social network strategy (SNS) is an intervention that trains people with reasons to test for HIV to reach out to peers to increase HIV testing and may improve uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We conducted formative research to design an enhanced SNS to implement within partner services. Methods: In 2022-2024, we conducted four focus groups among HIV public health services staff and 12 in-depth interviews with local health department officials, clinicians, and community-based organization leaders. In addition, we interviewed four BSGM community members who recently used prevention services (i.e., testing or PrEP). Focus groups and interviews were transcribed and iteratively coded. Themes included salient barriers and facilitators to HIV services and mapped to a modified socio-ecological model after analysis. Narratives from the four BSGM were integrated with the summary analyses from HIV service providers. Results: Service providers and community members identified persistent barriers to HIV prevention services: (1) basic human needs for survival and (2) lack of compassion within the healthcare system. Inadequate living necessities (e.g., housing and transportation), education, mistrust, stigma, and discrimination limit HIV prevention service use. Conversely, wrap-around services, transparency, representation, and compassionate care facilitate service access. Conclusion: Enhancing HIV prevention services for BSGM groups necessitates reducing healthcare access barriers and leveraging facilitators. Our findings informed an enhanced SNS intervention to increase HIV testing, prevention, and care linkage among BSGM in the Southern US.
