New computer tool aims to boost HIV prevention in community clinics
NCT ID NCT05245201
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether an electronic health record tool can help doctors identify patients at higher risk for HIV and prescribe PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. Researchers will roll out the tool in 2-3 community health centers and compare PrEP prescription rates to 2 clinics providing usual care. The study involves about 60 healthcare providers and focuses on feasibility and acceptability, not patient outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EHR-based clinical decision support tool
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a larger trial that helps doctors better identify who might benefit from HIV prevention medication, potentially reducing new HIV infections.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 4 clinics, so results may not apply broadly. The tool may not change prescribing habits or may be difficult for providers to use consistently.
