Pharmacy navigators boost HIV prevention in kenyan teens
NCT ID NCT05467306
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether nurse-navigators can help adolescent girls and young women in Kenya start and continue taking PrEP, a daily medication that prevents HIV. About 1,900 participants will get PrEP at local pharmacies after buying birth control, and half will also receive extra support from a nurse. Researchers will compare how many in each group stick with PrEP over 10 months.
