First seen Nov 06, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study tests three approaches to help 600 teen girls and young women (ages 15-24) at high risk of HIV in Uganda start and stick with PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. Some participants get HIV risk education alone, others add peer support from PrEP users, and a third group also gets a matched savings account and financial training. The goal is to see which combination works best to overcome barriers like stigma and poverty.
