New tablet tool aims to boost PrEP use among black women in the south
NCT ID NCT07398482
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a tablet-based tool called PrEPwise, delivered by community health workers, to help Black women in eastern Virginia learn about and decide whether to start PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV). The trial will enroll 108 Black women who are eligible for PrEP and seek HIV testing. Researchers want to see if the tool is acceptable, feasible, and leads to more women starting PrEP.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PrEPwise (tablet-based decision aid delivered by community health workers)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this tool could help more Black women learn about and start PrEP, potentially reducing new HIV cases in this community.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study (108 people) testing whether the tool is acceptable and practical, not whether it prevents HIV. Results may not apply to other regions or groups.
