Can a Mother-Daughter workshop cut HIV rates in teen girls?

NCT ID NCT06503666

First seen Jun 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026

Summary

This study tests a program called ZAIMARA that brings together adolescent girls (ages 15-19) and their mother figures for a two-day workshop. The goal is to improve communication about HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and PrEP, and to increase HIV testing and prevention. Researchers will follow 1,200 participants across five sites in Zambia to see if the program reduces new HIV and STI infections and encourages safer sexual behavior.
