Nurse-Led PrEP program boosts HIV prevention in Women's clinics
NCT ID NCT05095818
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a registered nurse could help women at risk for HIV learn about and start PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV) during OB/GYN visits. 440 women were randomly assigned to either standard care or a nurse-led program that included counseling and lab tests. The goal was to see if the nurse-led approach increased awareness and use of PrEP.
