ER video nudge aims to boost HIV and hepatitis c testing
NCT ID NCT05968573
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a very brief, persuasive message—delivered by a video or a counselor—can increase HIV and hepatitis C testing among emergency room patients who initially said no. About 2,000 adults who speak English or Spanish and haven't been tested in the past year will take part. The goal is to find a simple, low-cost way to catch more infections early.
