Abstract
Purpose of review: Latino/x/e men who have sex with men (LMSM) in the United States are disproportionately affected by HIV. Peer-led adjunctive interventions show promise for enhancing engagement in HIV prevention and care among LMSM, but their effectiveness and implementation remain underexplored. This scoping review aimed to map existing evidence on peer-led interventions, identify gaps, and inform future research for enhancing HIV prevention and care among LMSM.
Recent findings: We followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines, covering literature from 2011 to 2022, using Covidence for systematic screening and data extraction. Articles were categorized by intervention aspects like delivery methods, outcomes, translational phases, theory-informed approaches, and cultural adaptation levels. The search yielded 613 records, with 22 meeting eligibility criteria, including 17 unique interventions. Interventions were delivered individually (57%), in groups (30%), to couples (4%), and via public campaigns (4%). Outcomes included HIV testing uptake (74%), treatment linkage (39%), PrEP uptake (22%), and PEP uptake (4%). Translational phases included formative (22%), pilot (26%), efficacy (22%), and effectiveness (22%). Cultural adaptations were surface (22%) and deep (13%). Findings indicate diverse peer-led interventions for LMSM, though many are in early stages of development. Further research is needed to move these interventions along the translational pathway to enhance their public health impact.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of HIV/AIDS.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antiretroviral therapies, behavioral aspects of management, and metabolic complications and comorbidity. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
