Summary

This study tested a shared decision-making program to help pregnant women in Malawi decide whether to take daily oral PrEP (a pill that prevents HIV) or use condoms. 100 HIV-negative pregnant women at risk for HIV were randomly assigned to receive either the new decision-making tool or standard counseling. The study measured how acceptable, appropriate, and feasible the program was, and found it was well-received.
