New strategy aims to stop HIV in its tracks for thousands of women

NCT ID NCT06743204

Summary

This study aims to see if adding testing for common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to standard HIV prevention screening helps more young women in Africa start and continue taking PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. About 4,500 women in Uganda will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard screening or the standard screening plus STI tests. Researchers will track how many women begin PrEP and how consistently they take it over six months to see if the extra testing makes a difference.
