Summary
This pilot study tested a counseling tool called MyChoice to help pregnant women in Malawi decide whether to use oral PrEP or condoms for HIV prevention. 100 HIV-negative pregnant women were randomly assigned to receive either the MyChoice shared decision-making intervention or standard counseling. The study measured how acceptable, appropriate, and feasible the intervention was, as well as its impact on decision-making confidence.
