Summary

This study tested two ways to prevent HIV in over 5,000 adolescent girls and young women at risk. One group received a long-acting shot (lenacapavir) every 6 months, and another took a daily pill (F/TAF). The goal was to see how well each method works compared to the expected infection rate in the community. Results will show if these options are safe and effective for preventing HIV.
