Summary
This study tested two HIV prevention programs for African immigrant women: one-on-one counseling (Dada Kwa Dada) and group sessions (DADA). The goal was to see which approach increases condom use and PrEP uptake. 149 HIV-negative women from the Boston and New York areas took part. The results could help tailor HIV prevention efforts for this community.
