NCT ID NCT05139069

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a special toolkit designed to help African American women at risk for HIV get access to PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV). The toolkit also addresses intimate partner violence, which can make it harder for women to seek prevention. Researchers worked with two clinics in Mississippi and enrolled 27 healthcare providers to see if the toolkit increased PrEP prescriptions and follow-up visits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Trauma-Informed Toolkit (behavioral intervention)

What this could lead to

If successful, this toolkit could help more African American women access HIV prevention medication, especially those facing intimate partner violence.

What could go wrong

This was a small pilot study with only 27 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The toolkit is behavioral, not a drug, so its impact on HIV rates is indirect.
