Soccer-Themed program aims to boost HIV prevention in men
NCT ID NCT07263048
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a program called PrEP & Soccer, run through CVS pharmacies, to help men learn about and start PrEP—a daily pill that prevents HIV. About 800 men aged 18-54 who are at risk for HIV will take part. Some pharmacies will offer personalized PrEP navigation and a soccer-themed pamphlet, while others provide only standard health information. The goal is to see if the program increases attendance at first PrEP appointments and improves HIV prevention awareness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PrEP navigation support and educational brochure
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could make it easier for men at risk of HIV to learn about and start PrEP, potentially reducing new infections.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage implementation study, not a drug trial. The program may not increase PrEP use as hoped, and results may not apply to other settings or populations.
