New tool aims to boost HIV prevention in Women's health clinics
NCT ID NCT06684613
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a decision aid that helps women in sexual and reproductive health clinics decide whether to take PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. The tool will be used during counseling visits. Researchers will see if it increases PrEP use and if it's practical for clinics. The study involves 50 women who do not have HIV and are not currently on PrEP.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PrEP Decision Aid (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this tool could help more women at risk of HIV get the prevention they need during routine clinic visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The decision aid may not change behavior or be adopted widely.
