Summary

This study tested a web-based program to help Black women in Texas use HIV and STI home tests and connect to treatment or PrEP. The program included five sessions with goal-setting and action plans. Only 31 women enrolled before the study was stopped early, so the findings are limited.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
web-based behavioral intervention (Empowered to Test Yourself)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help increase HIV/STI testing and linkage to care or PrEP among Black women in high-risk areas.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early with only 31 participants, so results are limited and may not be reliable. The intervention is behavioral and depends on individual motivation.
