What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- decision-support tool and clinic training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help more women at risk for HIV learn about and choose prevention methods that fit their lives.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study in one clinic, so results may not apply everywhere. It tested a process, not a new drug, so impact depends on how clinics adopt it.
