NCT ID NCT07516691
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a digital teleconsultation program called E-PrevenT to help transgender sex workers and their clients access HIV and STI prevention services. The program aims to reach people who are often left out of traditional prevention efforts. Researchers will enroll 250 participants and track how many use the service.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- digital teleconsultation program (E-PrevenT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a scalable way to bring HIV/STI prevention to hard-to-reach transgender sex workers and their clients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage feasibility study, not a treatment trial. It may not show a significant increase in prevention access, and results may not apply to other populations or regions.
