NCT ID NCT07226492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving monthly cash payments to pregnant women with HIV in Botswana helps them better manage their health. Researchers want to see if the money improves their ability to stick to HIV medication and stay in care after giving birth. About 100 women will take part, and the goal is to learn if this approach is practical and helpful.
