Could routine HIV/STI testing in primary care prevent more infections?
NCT ID NCT07446764
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether making HIV and STI testing and PrEP navigation a routine, opt-out part of primary care increases their use. About 700 adults aged 18-45 at health centers in Mississippi will take part. Researchers will compare a standard-care period to an integrated-care period to see if the new approach boosts testing and PrEP discussions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Integrated HIV/STI testing and PrEP navigation model
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could make HIV and STI testing and PrEP access a standard part of primary care, helping prevent infections.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage implementation study, not a drug trial. Results may not apply to other clinics or regions, and success depends on staff and patient acceptance.
