Summary

This study compares monitoring by nurses versus physicians for people taking HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). It looks at how well patients follow their PrEP schedule, their satisfaction with care, and the cost of each approach. The goal is to see if nurse-led care can be a safe and effective alternative to doctor visits.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that nurse-led monitoring is as effective as physician-led care, potentially expanding access to HIV prevention services.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and measures compliance and satisfaction, not HIV prevention directly. Results may not apply to all settings or populations.
