NCT ID NCT03532191
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a program to help healthcare providers prescribe HIV PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) more effectively. The program included a web-based tool and a coordinator to support doctors. Ten clinics in San Francisco participated. The goal was to see if the program increased the number of PrEP prescriptions written for patients at risk of HIV.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PrEP Optimization Intervention (PrEP-OI) including a web-based tool and a PrEP Coordinator
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help more at-risk patients get HIV PrEP, reducing new HIV infections.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small study (10 clinics) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. It focused on provider behavior, not patient outcomes.
