Summary

This study will test a doula support program for 15 pregnant women with HIV in South Florida. The doula will provide education, adherence support, and lactation counseling from pregnancy through 12 weeks after birth. The goal is to see if this program is feasible and acceptable, and to improve health outcomes for mothers and babies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Doula support intervention (behavioral support including education, adherence support, and lactation counseling)
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could provide a model for supporting pregnant women with HIV in making informed infant feeding choices and improving maternal and child health.
What could go wrong: This is a very small early feasibility study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not be acceptable or feasible in other settings.
