Partners in prevention: couples program boosts HIV protection for women
NCT ID NCT07574619
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called CUPID that helps couples make decisions together about HIV prevention. About 1,424 women in Uganda will join with their male partners to choose and use PrEP (medicines that prevent HIV). The goal is to see if partner support increases women's use of PrEP and makes the program easy to use in local clinics.
