NCT ID NCT06526507
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a package of tools—training for healthcare workers, quality improvement methods, and a community of practice—to help clinics in Kenya offer HIV prevention pills (PrEP) to pregnant and postpartum women. The goal is to screen more women and start them on PrEP if they want it. Over 17,000 women and healthcare workers will take part across multiple clinics.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Implementation strategy package (training, quality improvement, community of practice)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make HIV prevention pills more accessible to pregnant and postpartum women in Kenya, reducing new infections.
- What could go wrong
- This is a large-scale implementation study, not a test of a new drug. Success depends on real-world factors like staff training and clinic resources, so results may vary across settings.
