Peer-led HIV interventions are an increasingly common and low-cost strategy to address shortages of professionally trained health workers for implementing evidence-based HIV prevention and treatment interventions to populations who experience health disparities. There is a need to understand the experiences and unmet needs of this essential workforce responsible for implementing and delivering HIV interventions to ensure their implementation efforts are sustainable. This commentary provides a brief overview of barriers to peer deliverers' sustained engagement in the HIV workforce and potential implementation strategies to promote the sustainment of peer deliverers' implementation efforts.
