This $197,035 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to design and evaluate a community-based intervention to engage men who use substances in HIV prevention services in rural South Africa. The award supports a 5-year project led by the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Research Management division. The project has three primary objectives: 1) explore the experiences, perceptions, and preferences for HIV prevention services among men who frequent local bars (shebeens) in rural South Africa, 2) develop an HIV prevention and health promotion intervention tailored to the needs and preferences of this population, and 3) evaluate the implementation of the community-based intervention to improve HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis use and health engagement among men who frequent shebeens. This project addresses critical gaps in HIV prevention service uptake among men in South Africa, particularly those with substance use, by designing an intervention aligned with their specific needs and preferences.
