Can a smartphone app help young black women cut alcohol and prevent HIV?

NCT ID NCT05753683

First seen May 22, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app with a virtual group support feature can help young Black women (ages 18-30) who misuse alcohol reduce their drinking and risky sexual behavior, and increase their use of PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV). About 500 HIV-negative women in North Carolina will be randomly assigned to use either a standard health app or the same app plus a private online group. Researchers will track alcohol use, sexual risk, and PrEP use over 6 months to see if the group component makes a difference.
