New app could bridge the gap between HIV Self-Testing and PrEP access
NCT ID NCT07614165
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a mobile-friendly app called DASH that provides information and guidance about PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV) to people who have used an HIV self-test kit. The app helps users explore their values and make informed decisions about starting PrEP, with links to local or online resources. Researchers will enroll 170 HIV-negative adults aged 18-39 who have never used PrEP, and compare PrEP uptake at 3 months between those who use the app and those who don't.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PrEP Decisional Aid mobile app (DASH)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could become a simple, scalable way to connect HIV self-test users with PrEP, helping more people access effective HIV prevention.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (170 people) testing a behavioral tool, not a drug. The app may not significantly increase PrEP use, and results may not apply to everyone.
