ClinConnect Summary

The clinical trial titled "Medical Mistrust Among Hispanic/Latino Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men" is focused on understanding the trust issues that some Hispanic and Latino men may have regarding healthcare, especially in relation to HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). This is important because there are significant health disparities affecting these communities, and the trial aims to find ways to improve healthcare access and trust.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 18 years old, identify as Hispanic or Latino, live in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and be male who has had sexual contact with at least one man in the past six months. Participants should be comfortable speaking either English or Spanish. The trial is currently not recruiting, but once it begins, participants can expect to share their experiences and thoughts regarding healthcare, which could help shape better health services for their community. It's important to note that only men are eligible for this trial, and those under 18 or identifying as female will not be included.
