Choice may boost HIV prevention: a trial tests offering multiple PrEP options to young women in kenya
NCT ID NCT07076043
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether offering a menu of HIV prevention options — including daily pills and a vaginal ring — helps more young women aged 18–30 start and continue using PrEP. About 1,400 women seeking reproductive health services at clinics in Kenya will be offered either standard daily oral PrEP or a multi-product program that begins with the dapivirine ring. The study aims to see if having a choice leads to higher rates of PrEP initiation and persistence at three months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a multi-product PrEP program including daily oral PrEP and the dapivirine vaginal ring
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that offering a choice of HIV prevention methods helps more young women protect themselves from HIV.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is testing a program, not a single drug, so results may depend on how well clinics implement the options. The dapivirine ring is one of several products and may not suit everyone.
