Summary

This completed study tested a small-group discussion program called SISTA-P for Black women at high risk for HIV. The program covered self-care, HIV and PrEP education, and assertiveness skills. Researchers enrolled 23 women in Washington D.C., Atlanta, and New Orleans to see if the program was 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

SISTA-P Intervention (behavioral group discussion)

What this could lead to

If successful, this program could help Black women feel more informed and empowered to use HIV prevention tools like PrEP.

What could go wrong

This was a very small, early feasibility study with only 23 participants. It measured intentions, not actual HIV prevention, so real-world impact is uncertain.
