Could nurses replace doctors for HIV prevention Check-Ups?
NCT ID NCT07695493
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
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.
