Arms

  • Experimental: CBT Coping Intervention
    The intervention is an 8-session cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) group intervention that aims to improve HIV outcomes by increasing adaptive, effective coping responses to stigma from intersectional identities related to ethnicity, immigration status, sexual minority identity, HIV status, and PrEP among Latinx sexual minority men (SMM). The intervention sessions will address topics such as: understanding and coping with intersectional stigma, multiple identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, sexual orientation), medical mistrust, social support, and structural stigma. Intervention groups will be led by a trained facilitator (with expertise in group therapy with Latinx SMM) and a trained peer co-facilitator matched in identities with participants (Latinx SMM).
  • No Intervention: Control
    Participants who are randomized to the control condition will be referred to the standard of care program at Bienestar, which includes an ongoing weekly open wellness-oriented support group available to all clients.
