This study tests a 6-session telehealth program called EMPOWER for African American women in the South. The program helps women make informed choices about HIV prevention, including PrEP. Researchers will enroll 80 women to see if the program is feasible and acceptable.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

EMPOWER behavioral intervention

What this could lead to

If successful, this program could help more African American women in the South make informed decisions about HIV prevention and increase PrEP use.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program is behavioral, not a drug, so it won't directly prevent HIV.
