Summary

This study tests a mobile health program designed to reduce HIV-related stigma and improve use of PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV) among young transgender women in Thailand. The program includes counseling and stigma-reduction activities delivered via smartphone. Researchers will enroll 108 HIV-negative transgender women aged 18-29 who are not currently using PrEP or are not taking it regularly.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

mobile health program (Mobile Healthy Choices and FRESH) plus standard PrEP counseling

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide an effective way to reduce HIV stigma and increase PrEP use among young transgender women.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with 108 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on self-reported adherence, which can be unreliable.
