 The role of peer navigators in HIV care is to influence areas which impact engagement in care, namely to: 1 Educate and counsel regarding acceptance of HIV diagnosis and understanding of HIV prevention and treatment, 2 Assist in overcoming practical barriers to care e.g., accessing social services like drug treatment, housing or transportation assistance, 3 Identify and reduce sources of instability, 4 Facilitate patient coping through life skills training, and 5 Improve patient-provider communication. Data suggest that peer-led interventions should be personalized and practical, addressing individual concerns and barriers rather than group-level support.8 The frequency and intensity of patient-peer interaction needed for this individualization and the extent to which mobile technology can improve communication toward this end need clarification.
