NCT ID NCT07625917
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study recruits 500 people who inject drugs through social media to see if they can use at-home HIV test kits mailed to them. Participants fill out online surveys and mail back samples. The goal is to find out if this approach is a practical way to conduct HIV prevention research in this hard-to-reach group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that online recruitment and at-home HIV testing are practical ways to reach people who inject drugs, helping future prevention efforts.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study, not testing a new treatment. It may not lead to direct health improvements, and results may not apply to all populations.
