Shielding south african youth from HIV prevention myths

NCT ID NCT07518914

First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether a brief 'psychological inoculation' message can help young women in South Africa resist false claims about lenacapavir, a new twice-yearly injection that prevents HIV. About 1,500 women aged 18-29 will be randomly assigned to receive either the inoculation message or no message, then exposed to misinformation. The goal is to see if the inoculation protects their intention to use lenacapavir.
