Family planning visits could double as HIV prevention for young women
NCT ID NCT04666792
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether offering HIV prevention services, including PrEP medication, in family planning clinics helps more young women get tested for HIV and start PrEP. Over 25,000 sexually active, HIV-negative young women in Kenya took part. The goal was to see if integrating these services into routine care is practical and effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PrEP (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could make it easier for young women to access HIV prevention during routine family planning visits, potentially reducing new HIV infections.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a test of PrEP's effectiveness. Results may depend on clinic resources and patient adherence, and may not apply to other settings.
