First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tests whether specially designed messages can help young women in South Africa resist false information about a future HIV vaccine. About 2,163 women aged 18-29 will be split into two groups: one receives the protective messages, the other does not. Researchers will then measure how willing each group is to get an HIV vaccine after being exposed to common myths.
