Summary
This study tested a web-based program called 'Empowered to Test Yourself' to help Black women in Texas use HIV and STI home tests, get linked to care if positive, and access PrEP if negative. The program included 5 sessions with goal-setting and action planning. Only 31 women enrolled before the study was terminated early, so the results are limited.
