NCT ID NCT05262426
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a computer-based program called MES-PrEP to help young transgender women in Thailand start and stick with HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The program provides personalized feedback and information based on each person's confidence and motivation. Researchers will measure how acceptable and easy to use the program is, and whether it improves PrEP adherence over six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Motivational Enhancement System for PrEP Uptake and Adherence (MES-PrEP) – a computer-delivered behavioral intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, scalable way to boost PrEP use among at-risk youth, helping prevent HIV infections.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 145 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on self-reported adherence, which can be inaccurate.
