"I Just Need Guidance Through This Maze I'm Going Through": Addressing Unmet Basic and Mental Health Needs to Facilitate Engagement in HIV Prevention Services in the Context of Stimulant Use.
Article in AIDS patient care and STDs, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
There is a global syndemic of HIV, mental health challenges, substance use, and structural barriers. Critical to local HIV prevention efforts is understanding this syndemic in the context of rising stimulant use to inform intervention development. Adhering to the EPIS model, we conducted 32 in-depth individual qualitative interviews with people who use stimulants and have unmet structural needs to (1) identify barriers/facilitators of HIV prevention and (2) get feedback on evidence-based intervention content (e.g., emotion- and problem-focused coping skills) to address identified barriers. Thematic content analysis was applied. The sample had a mean age of 48 years (standard deviation = 10.8), with 46.9% identifying as men, 62.5% as White, and 50.0% as having ≤high school diploma/GED (general educational development). Multi-level barriers/facilitators of HIV prevention included knowledge, motivation (individual), provider relationships (interpersonal), access, and cost (institutional/structural). Skills to cope with psychosocial distress and problem-solve barriers to getting social services were perceived to be helpful. A psycho-behavioral intervention would best be implemented as part of syndemic-focused programming that also includes contingency management for HIV prevention behaviors and stimulant use, social activities not centered on drug use, and case management. This study advances HIV prevention by informing psycho-behavioral intervention development that is person-centered and focused on sustainable implementation.
