NCT ID NCT06746675
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a counseling program called Healthy Families PrEP for HIV-negative women in rural Uganda who are planning pregnancy or recently gave birth. The program provides information and support to help women take daily PrEP pills to prevent HIV. Researchers will enroll 660 women and measure how many start and continue PrEP, especially during pregnancy and after birth, to reduce HIV transmission to mothers and children.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Healthy Families PrEP counselling intervention (behavioral intervention to promote PrEP use)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, community-based way to reduce HIV infections among women and their babies during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug; its success depends on women's willingness and ability to take PrEP consistently. The trial is not yet recruiting and results may not apply to other settings.
