First seen Nov 03, 2025 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 40 times
Summary
This study tested a new way to help young women in Kenya start PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. Young women already taking PrEP were trained to refer their friends and give them HIV self-test kits. The goal was to see if this peer-led approach could increase PrEP use among those at high risk. The study involved 211 participants and compared this enhanced method to the usual word-of-mouth referrals.
