Summary

This trial tests a tablet-based decision support tool designed to help women learn about their HIV risk and prevention options, including PrEP. Women aged 18-45 who are not living with HIV will be randomly assigned to use the tool before a clinic visit or to receive standard counseling. Researchers will survey participants about their knowledge, confidence, and satisfaction, and follow up after three months to see if they started an HIV prevention method. The goal is to see if the tool increases PrEP use and improves decision-making.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A tablet-based decision support tool that educates women about HIV prevention options, including PrEP.
What this could lead to
If effective, this tool could help more women at risk of HIV start using PrEP or other prevention methods, potentially reducing HIV rates among women of color.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and tests a behavioral tool, not a drug. Results may not apply broadly, and the tool's impact on actual HIV prevention is uncertain.
