Summary

This study tested a web-based program to help Black women in Texas use HIV and STI home tests and connect to treatment or PrEP. The program included five sessions with goal-setting and action plans. Only 31 women enrolled before the study was stopped early, so the findings are limited.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: web-based behavioral intervention (Empowered to Test Yourself)
What this could lead to: If successful, this approach could help increase HIV/STI testing and linkage to care or PrEP among Black women in high-risk areas.
What could go wrong: The study was terminated early with only 31 participants, so results are limited and may not be reliable. The intervention is behavioral and depends on individual motivation.
