We recruited Peer Leaders over a 5-week period and then randomly assigned them to the 2 arms. Peer Leaders were blinded to their study condition. Peer leaders recruited study participants via their existing online social networks to complete an online eligibility screener and baseline survey. Study participants were then directed to join a private online group, facilitated and moderated by the peer leader who had recruited them. Content: The E-PrEP campaign focused on delivering information about PrEP. The materials were composed of 6 weeks of publicly available PrEP educations materials selected by peer advisors prior to the intervention (i.e. information on how to talk to your doctor about PrEP, where to get PrEP, side effects, etc.). The materials mapped out onto Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) and Information, Motivation, Behavior (IMB) domains. Peer leaders framed the E-PrEP materials in their own words when posting the materials to their online private group. |

Study participants were then directed to join a private online group, facilitated and moderated by the peer leader who had recruited them. Content: BxNow focused on a broad range of health topics prioritized by the peer leaders assigned to this arm, but did not include any contents about HIV or PrEP (i.e. depression, anxiety, suicide, intimate partner violence, drug use, awareness of sexually transmitted infections). BxNow was attention matched to the E-PrEP intervention timeline (6 weeks of materials) for both time and day of posts and frequency of posts. As with E-PrEP, standardized BxNow contents were delivered by peer leaders, framed using their own words. |
