Summary

This study developed and tested a digital intervention for pregnant unmarried adolescents aged 15-19 living with HIV in Kenya. The app uses stories and lessons to help them understand stigma, build confidence to disclose their HIV and pregnancy status to family, and seek support. 169 participants used the app and provided feedback on its usability and impact. The goal is to improve their mental health and engagement in services that prevent passing HIV to their babies.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Digital intervention (mobile app with illustrative characters and didactic content)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a scalable digital tool that helps pregnant teens with HIV manage stigma, improve communication with family, and increase engagement in prevention of mother-to-child transmission services.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage pilot (169 participants) focused on feasibility and acceptability, not on clinical outcomes. The intervention may not work in larger, more diverse populations or in real-world settings.
