NCT ID NCT06096519

First seen Mar 14, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether text messages can encourage teenagers (ages 13-19) to get tested for HIV. About 360 teens who have had sex and are HIV-negative or don't know their status will receive either helpful texts or general information. Researchers will check if more teens get tested by asking them to share a photo of their test results.
