NCT ID NCT05929482
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether watching a culturally tailored telenovela (soap opera) online could help Latinas in North Carolina adopt HIV prevention behaviors like using condoms, getting tested, and learning about PrEP. 95 women participated, watching four 10-minute episodes over a week. The study measured changes in prevention behaviors at one month and seven months.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a low-cost, engaging way to increase HIV prevention behaviors among Latinas.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 95 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a medical treatment, and its long-term impact is unknown.
