“…(9,10) Peer-led HIV interventions, which train peer health educators to deliver community-based HIV prevention information, have increased condom use and decreased unprotected anal intercourse, with sustained behavior change up to 3 years later. (11,12) Researchers have proposed using online technologies as tools to rapidly and cost-effectively deliver peer-led HIV prevention among at-risk populations. (1315) Addressing at-risk populations of Internet and social media users is especially important as Internet sex-seekers may be at increased HIV risk.…”

“…Peer health interventions have been successfully used in areas as diverse as bicycle safety 6 , drug prevention 7 , and sexual attitudes and behaviors 3 . For example, a peer leader intervention aimed to reduce sexual risk behaviors resulted in increasing condom use up to 16% and decreasing unprotected anal intercourse up to 25%, with sustained behavior change seen at follow-up up to 3 years later 8, 9 . While these studies suggest that peer leader community-based interventions are effective in promoting health behavior change, researchers are looking for cost-effective alternatives because community-based health interventions can require considerable time and money.…”
