NCT ID NCT06785103
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested several low-cost behavioral nudges, like videos and text messages, to encourage HIV retesting among 98 adults at higher risk of HIV in rural Kenya and Uganda. The goal was to see which approaches were acceptable and feasible, so the best ones could be used in a larger future study. The study did not test a treatment or cure, but rather aimed to improve testing rates.
