The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the WeCare intervention-an adapted Friendship Bench program that integrates problem-solving therapy, minority-stress-informed content, and explicit PrEP/ART adherence skills-improves mental health and HIV medication adherence among men who have sex with men (MSM). It will also assess the safety, acceptability, and feasibility of delivering WeCare through trained lay coaches in community clinics. Main questions the trial aims to answer: * Does WeCare reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety among MSM? * Does WeCare improve PrEP and ART adherence and increase rates of viral suppression among participants on ART? * Is WeCare acceptable, feasible, and safe when delivered by lay coaches in POP INN clinics compared with usual care?
