Gender-specific HIV and substance abuse prevention strategies for South African men: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

DiscussionThe failure of men to utilize HIV prevention programs highlights the need for gender-specific intervention strategies. However, men in groups can provoke and encourage greater risk-taking among themselves. The current protocol evaluates a male-specific strategy to influence men ’s risk for HIV, as well as to improve their ability to contribute to family income and daily routines. Both interventions are expected to significantly benefit men compared with the control condition.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov registration,NCT02358226. Registered 24 November 2014.
