At baseline and every 6 months thereafter (Month 0, Month 6, and Month 12), participants will complete an interviewer-administered social network inventory and a self-administered survey to collect information on their social networks (alter types, size, and characteristics) and HIV prevention engagement (HIV testing and pre-exposure prophylaxis use), respectively. Information on HIV prevention engagement will also be abstracted from medical records. Intersectional stigma will be operationalized as a multilevel latent variable comprised of observed measures of anticipated and enacted stigma experienced by a participant from an alter toward the participant\u2019s Latino, masculine, and sexual identities. Multilevel structural equation modeling will be used to estimate the longitudinal association between intersectional stigma, HIV testing, and pre-exposure prophylaxis use, considering potential mediators and moderators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>NEXUS recruitment began in June 2021, and as of March 11, 2025, a total of 482 participants had been enrolled.
