ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving HIV testing and prevention strategies for young sexual minority men (YSMM) in Florida. Researchers are testing a program called the YACHT package at 42 Florida Department of Health agencies. The goal is to see if this program can help healthcare providers better support young men in getting tested for HIV and receiving the necessary counseling and referrals for prevention. The study will look at how effective these strategies are in increasing the number of tests conducted and how well providers are implementing them.

To be eligible for this study, agencies must be contracted with the Florida Department of Health and must have tested at least 24 young men for HIV in the past year. Participants will be involved in various aspects of the trial, including receiving tailored counseling. The study aims to not only improve testing rates but also to understand what works best in supporting both providers and young men in the fight against HIV. Overall, this trial is an important step towards reducing the impact of HIV in young communities across Florida.
