A tablet tool may empower women to prevent HIV — trial puts it to the test
NCT ID NCT04621760
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This trial tests a tablet-based decision support tool designed to help women learn about their HIV risk and prevention options, including PrEP. Women aged 18-45 who are not living with HIV will be randomly assigned to use the tool before a clinic visit or to receive standard counseling. Researchers will survey participants about their knowledge, confidence, and satisfaction, and follow up after three months to see if they started an HIV prevention method. The goal is to see if the tool increases PrEP use and improves decision-making.
