Peer power: young moms lead HIV prevention in zimbabwe
NCT ID NCT07546344
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether trained young mentor mothers (YMMs) can help pregnant and breastfeeding teenage girls and young women (ages 15-24) in Zimbabwe use HIV prevention tools like PrEP and contraception. About 600 participants will be assigned to either receive support from YMMs or standard care. The goal is to see if this peer-led approach is feasible and effective at increasing prevention uptake.
