New study aims to get HIV prevention pills to women who inject drugs
NCT ID NCT05360849
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study works with primary care and reproductive health clinics to make it easier for women who inject drugs to get PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. Researchers are testing a program where clinic staff get extra training and support to identify and prescribe PrEP to these women. The goal is to reduce new HIV infections in a group that is often overlooked by the healthcare system.
